yes, it was worth it! I have to admit - My nose got a little red and I had to come home and wash my face and put on moisturizer. It felt tight!

Thank you all for going and let's hope the protests are heard! I read the statement in the article where Petland has denied their puppies come from mills - do they really expect us to believe that?!?!

I did see both of them at 10 last night - ABC led with it. I was disappointed though that they spent more time presenting the breeder & pet store folks. Not only did they interview Petland people , but also the only other store in town that sells animals - Premiere Pets! They need to be protested against too!

Thanks for being out there on the front lines, even with the harsh winds.

Glad to see the protests made the news.
