If each person calls, once and states their case.....how can they site harrassement....especially if phone calls are coming from all over.

I might be wrong, but I think if they had proof that it was planned like this, it could be considered harrassment.

I'm in too. get the number I'll call from Canada. We can also call from various phonenumbers. I know pay phones are scarce these days but we could find one or two.

We don't have to "publicly" display the #, we can pm it to each other, then no proof of "who" we were even talking about would ever be found!

Now it's just not this # it's anytime we encounter a sign, we take a picture and post it, if a number is envolved.....Mmmm I'm thinking about what to say when it's called....no name calling, maybe an educational one sided conversation....could get hung up on.....but, that's ok. The whole thing is to make things difficult for them to continue doing what they're doing.

If the number is on the picture.....or the sign...they've advertised it publically.....they want to be called.

Right....can this also be used for paper ads and internet ads?

Giving this some thought and would like input. We need to make a impact, even if a small one, so it should be organized. Especially the phone calling part.

Not sure about posting internet ads and newspaper ads. I would think it would be legal as they are posting to sell pups....but, we would want to take it one step further and bring it to the forefront. Not all are disreputable because they post ads......but, we all know the drill on weeding those of questionable breeding/selling practices. There's a fine line as to not becoming a witch hunt...

These people are creeps. I am going to keep watching for the number.

Not so much an advertisement for a particular breed, more like a website who has multiple breeds that can be easily seen as a puppy mill?

Gotcha!

I think it would be ok. But, lets open it up for dicussion. I know I would have no qualms in bring them to the attention of everyone.

Great, the more YT people we have the more of an impact we can make.

Don't want it taking away from other important messages, but if we keep it bumped up...it'll help get the message out other YT members that are wanting to help.

I am willing to call. Call a bunch. I guess that I could teach my kids how much fun it is to make "prank calls" if they even do that anymore. Kids love to be a pest.. (all ment in a nice way towards my teenagers)but the more calls we make it will eventually add up for Bob.
