Puppy Mill Bill

[Blue Sake]

Too bad that bump thing had gotten my attention. It should have grabbed my attention without bumping it. Thank you for your effort to keep this thread on top. I thought it was easy to get my friends and relatives to sign and send their information but it is not. What is wrong with these people??

hey, you did your best. You can't twist people's arms to sign.

We keep it on top, otherwise it would scroll off the front page and newcomers may not see it. Sometimes it is on the 3rd page before I notice and bump it up.

Thank you for trying to get more people to sign. It's a lot harder to get them to sign than you'd think. and esp after we had signed it, it took literally 2 minutes!

I wonder if they really understand the serious problem with the puppy mills. One lady on my Facebook did not understand what puppy mill was and said she supported puppy mills. I had to paste the link from google for her to see poor dogs in cages. She finally understood.... I hope she did.

You said it well! It's not hard to do so. It's really shame... I got auto response from my Senator saying that she supports Animal Welfare Act. I hope she's not just saying!

Clearly she did not understand what puppymills are! I'm sure hoping she understands better now bc of your efforts! Thank you! Keep passing it along, who knows, we might even get a few more to sign on!

Quite often when i first say to people that Poppy is from a puppy farm ,they seem to think its a good thing and really sweet, but i soon put them straight. People are then quite horrified that these things go on.

I even tell them which areas in Wales (the main puppy farm area in the UK). are the worst, and where they should avoid going on holiday.

If we keep spreading the word, however small our efforts seem, hopefully, eventually something will be done.

Thank you! My friend managed to get few of his co workers to sign in NY. I think it's great. I'm gong to fill in the info for my sister who lives in FL. she's lazy to do it & I told her I can do it for her. Laziness stinks!!!

Poppy is lucky to be in loving home now!
Is puppy mill/puppy farm nice word? puppy farm doesn't sound too bad. Should have used ugly word.
I have no idea Wales is the main puppy mill. What a shame it's like that almost everywhere in the world. How did it start? Because of WWII? I remember my parents adopted the first dog from the pound but they gave him away to a friend (don't know why) then we got another one from the pound. That mutt was so smart, sadly, he got killed when my dad accidentally ran him over at night. He was not aware of Blacky following him into the garage. the 3rd was from pet store. We never saw a dachshund & my mom fell in love with the breed. All dogs, only three dogs we had were from pet stores. We were not aware about puppy mills until AOL went unlimited in '96. There were not many pictures & it didn't get to me until few years later.

If you didnt know about puppymills, then you are not to blame for buying from pet stores.Its when people are aware, but still go ahead and buy, thats its very wrong.
I think Wales is the main puppyfarm area because its mainly countryside and its easy to have a big shed or barn full of dogs and pups without anyone knowing. No neighbours for miles around etc.
Also, the councils there dont make it illegal. One of the ways to show your disapproval is to stop holidaying in the worst areas...hit the tourist trade where it hurts. Its tiny steps, but better than nothing. We have lots of protests outside the few petstores that still sell dogs...again, mainly in the north of England and Wales area.

I agree that puppy farm does not sound as bad as puppy mill. There are people over here in the states that have defended "breeders" saying they are just a puppy farm, not a mill. HA, same thing!

The worst part in the states is in MO, puppymill capital of the world. Same thing, lots of open land, neighbors are far away, and the laws don't do enough to try and stop it. All the more important to try to get more people to sign!

from now on, i will call them puppymills rather than puppyfarms. That will then include the ones in USA too.
I wish i had a better memory for faces, because i'm sure i will be telling the same story to the same people before too long...I tend to recognise the dogs before the owners!

[MollysMum54]

bumping on up.

my girls, Molly and Poppy. This was Poppys first time at the seaside and she loved it.
