| Shocked - Appalled - Angry Coming home from Lancaster, CA on the 14 Freeway.....Big Bill Board Sign on the side of the Freeway...... DOGS FOR SALE CALL BOB with an 866 number. The sign was comprised of several puppies/multiple breeds...... In traveling I've seen signs advertising puppies and mostely in Texas, but in other states too. Some neon signs, signs outside of stores, on street corners in various towns, even selling pups in flea markets. I'm still amazed at the lengths people will go through to sell pups.

| Geez, it never ceases to amaze me at the lengths "greeters" will go to to "make a sell"! Just disgusting! Not sure in your area, but here it cost about $250.00-$350.00 per day for a billboard!

| It was a fairly new sign, I don't travel up that way often, but the next time I do I'll make sure and take my camera with me......it was an 866 #. That area is pretty populated with Puppy Mills....but, if they stay within the limits of the law are USDA, they can remain in operation.

| Yeah! But, what about those that place a sign outside an Antique Store or a Neon sign on the side of the road, doesn't coast them one, red cent.....it's still disgusting.

| That is just plain sick. Next we will have people holding the signs waling up and down the streets! My mom told me she saw something like that in Missouri. I have never seen one.

| I had never seen a Bill Board before....but, like I said I've seen plenty of other types of signs, especially in Texas.

It's so sad and a problem that no one seems to be trying to stop. I can't even think about how many die on the way - but have heard about people buying them there only to lose them to that awful painful illness. What gets me is people think it's ok. my hex on those who do buy sell puppies like this is : may the fleas of a thousand camels infest their crotch and may their arms be too short to scratch hope no one here has bought in a flea market cause that would make me sound like a jerk | |
