| Nancy, What a great video, I hope that it can reach far and wide and stay in the hearts and minds of everyone who views it. The images on your video are the driving force behind every letter I write to my local, state and national representatives and law makers, they are what I see every time I get into a heated discussion online and in person with someone looking to breed, purchase or surrender a pup. Until there are no more facilities like the ones shown in your video I will continue to speak out and fight for the lost souls out there. I wont forget about them.................

| This has been going on for a looooong time. I have seen it when I was working for a Vet in California 24yrs ago. It's been 24 yrs. and I am so greatful that alot of people know what puppy mills are now but still far too many don't. Brokers,Back yard Breeders, Petstore's, the cute couple down the street..all have a hand in this. I still see people at the mall in the petshop..big smiles and no clue..or do they know and it just doesn't matter to them?? Sadly we are a "NOW" society..People do not want to wait..they don't want to do the homework..They want it now...I make it a point as often as I can to educate..luckily three of my neighbors have adopted from rescue and one chose a breeder. |

| I'm so mad, after linking this vid to FB, I got NO responses! How did you guys that linked it do? I even lost 2 fans on my fan page! I guess they are not worthy fans then! hmmph! I only have a few people on my personal page that are "friends" and one is from a yorkie meetup group, one is a personal friend who has a dog, what is wrong with people?!

Anyone with a twitter account? If I start one I'll have no hits on it, but if someone else has an established account with lots of friends then it can get more exposure. Linked it to mine. I wonder if my hardheaded cousins will take a look at it.

Yes I agree with this, patience is one of the hardest things to learn. I even have to tell myself this when I think about the puppy mill situation; it just gets so frustrating, but we have to be careful in this area too, and make sure all laws we make are good ones. In the meantime, the average person can do something and that's to not support bad breeders.

| Watched the video tonight and can't stop the tears, I am haunted by it, especially the dog who was stepping on all of the other dogs trying to get some air and they were stuffed in there like freight, not like living beings. I can't get the desperate face out of my head. I am sickened by these scenes. I hate that I unknowingly supported this when I bought my first Yorkie at a pet store. I couldn't rest until I rescued at least one, and now I have my Nicky who spent the first four years of his life in those atrocities and will always suffer the effects. I want to bring them home, but I can't afford to properly care for more. Yet I can't stop going on shelter websites and petfinder and looking and crying. I am becoming seriously depressed about this lately. I know the facts now and am always educating those around me. But what can I do as an individual? We have 5 and my husband won't let me bring home more to foster. What can I do in NY to make a difference? Who do I protest to? I thought that maybe if I take action, I will less helpless.
