You could download it to your computer - save it - then RE- Upload it again on YouTUBE...I think - I don't post there but that's probably how you can do it

[judyeve]

Okay - where should I save it when I download it?

[judyeve]

How do I download just the video also?

Puppy Mills and that video just makes me sick and breaks my heart. I signed it and passed it on to people on my email list. I just hate that this is happening on the earth. I always tell Jeanie how lucky she is that she gets to live with love....... poor puppies......

[red98vett]

it's SICK and evil isn't it ? They sit and sit in those horrible cages at these auctions - And COME from a place where they sit in another cage....the lack of food and water - the temperatures - it's just a freaking EVIL sickening business. I watched the video again and got even more mad seeing those poor dogs just inches from water and yet they went SEVEN HOURS without one drop !

The amish are notorious but you see all walks of life at those auctions. they should ALL be ashamed and I hope they never ever get a good nights sleep and when it's their time - rot in h*ll

I have donated in the past to the Humane Society and I will again and
always.
I, myself, can not watch the video. I have seen in the past the inside of a puppymill and was sick to my stomach. I just can not believe how our society
and laws do not protect these innocent animals from the abuse they face
day to day and let these low life sicko's continue getting rich from their
suffering. I just do not understand it! Cock fightening is against the law because of the suffering, pit bull fightening is against the law so why
is this not against the law? Right out in public auctioning off innocent animals to live a future life of suffering and it's ok? Why?
Why is it always the little people who have to fight for common sence things?
Why can't our government take action and actually do something about these
outrageous goings on? Why do people like you and I have to fight for action?
Plus it takes years and years to get anything done.
I read the samething year after year. Nothing ever gets done, nothing.
My opinion is: The government can not make money off of illegal cock
fightening and pitbull fightening can they?
But they do get tax dollars from puppies being sold in a pet store don't they? No matter how you look at it it will always be about money.
If these dogs were not allowed to be sold in pet stores and puppy mills
were hidden and the government did not make the $ off the sales you can
bet your last dollar they would be hunted down and closed. IMO

...And I thought the Amish were supposed to be nice people...I guess you can't put anything past anyone. Makes me not want to buy anything from them either.

argh...i curse the puppy millers to a lifetime in hell........so they can live their life as they have imposed on to his innocent dogs..

i dont know of any pet shops in my area that sell puppies and i bet it is because they were run out of town.
please if you see a pet store selling puppies you can do the following:
1. Call your local humane society and tell them about hte pet store and see if they want to help you shut it down.
2. Send a complaint into your city hall where the pet store is located.
3. Post flyers around the pet store about puppy mills.
4. Talk to the owner of the pet store and educate them. They will most likely tell you that all the puppies come from good breeders, and if they do, ask for the breeders info, tell them you would like to see the parents. this will atleast give you an address to report.
I know it is horrible, but stop feeling sad and start doing something about it. i promise you that it will feel great, whatever your efforts are.

I can't bring myself to watch this - I've just seen too many and it literally hurts my heart to no end. When will this ever end? How can people who participate in puppy mills live with themselves? How on earth do they justify it, qualify it? It confounds me.

[Wylie's Mom]

This reminds me of two of my favorite quotes by Milan Kundera:

"There is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes."

And:

"Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test, consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it."

Did you ever end up reporting this woman who was pepers breeder? If you did not you still can. Please do so if you have not yet, it is never too late to be proactive.

yes I did report her...to the HSUS, the BBB, and I got a report from the Millbusters site. She had only been cited because the "area around the Big Dogs wasn't clean enough". She is in Arkansas and I am in California. She sold to the Biggest puppy broker in the business...who gets money from the government and whose arms should fall off they pat themselves on the back so much...on their site they say their truck drivers (Simi-trucks) stop every couple of hours to water and play with the puppies...yeah and I believe in Santa Claus AND the tooth-fairy too! AFTER I got Pepper I did the research I should have done before I got him! I found out there were a LOT of complaints with the BBB about the petstore because people got sick puppies and then had to fight to get their money back. A bit of good news here: That Petstore was SHUT DOWN and are now out of business!!!! I can not sue Pepper's breeder because after I took him back I went back and bought him again KNOWING HE WAS SICK. I do NOT regret getting him back, he is my light!!! He is so brave and so sweet. But I am very angry that our government not only does NOT STOP these people, they subsidize (sp?) them in the form of grants and tax breaks. Our government is just as responsible for the misery these animals suffer as the breeders themselves. A few months ago one of the news services did a special News report about Petstores in Southern California. In the special they showed, amoung other things, that the petstore owners were self-medicating the puppies...filling them full of antibiotics they don't need WITHOUT VET APPROVAL OR AWARENESS...starving them because smaller puppies bring a higher price, leaving them in small cages and so on...one guy even HIT a tiny Chihuahua puppy in the face because it wouldn't take the medicine. They got all of this on film...you know what our government did about it? NOTHING!!!!!!! My dog can't walk across the room without falling over. He can't pee half of the time without me to hold him up. He vomits everyday and you know what's been done about it?? NOTHING! It is a big money business...and after all THEY'RE ONLY ANIMALS!!!! So I fight it the only way I can....I sit here and write out Pepper's story. I cry every time I do it because it hurts so bad! Everytime I have to hold him and he has that blank, scared look in his eyes because after 3 years he DOESN'T KNOW WHO I AM! He can't understand what is happening to him. Why he is so dizzy he can't eat. I get so angry. I get so depressed and frustrated. But most of all...I am just sad. I am nothing special...just like everyone of you I fell in love with my sweet little yorkie boy. Just like you, I will see him through any and all illnesses and through the ups and downs. I am just LIKE YOU! I have just had the chance to prove it. I am blessed that I have Pepper. He has helped ME through a lot of ups and downs too. My 2 year old grandson has Cerebral Palsey and Epileptsy (sorry spelling in not my thing) and through Pepper we have been able to deal with it and to realize that while it is going to be tough Tyler CAN get through it..maybe not the way a "normal" person does, but he'll get there...just like my Pep! And in a few weeks when it is time to let my baby go to sleep I will be there holding him, telling him how wonderful he is. His vet has said it is time to let him go but my husband and I are having a very hard time doing this. We will, but right now I am just saying "please God, just a little more time." Our 3rd anniversary is on June 28th, I want to keep him until then and then I will let go.

Sorry I didn't really mean to get up there on that damn soapbox again. But when you asked if I've done anything you hit a nerve....no I did NOT take it as a slam or you saying anything against me! No, the nerve is because I feel helpless sometimes trying to get the word out about puppymills,byb's and brokers. I worry that I will offend people with my stand on them...if I offend then they won't hear what I need to say. We CAN make a difference by just not buying anything where live animals are sold! And by spreading the word about what puppymills are and where MOST if not ALL petstores get their animals. As I said...this is a very big money business, if they stop making money they will stop the business!!!!

[red98vett]

You go girl and Big hugs to Sir Pepper from his Auntie V. I know how upsetting it is to talk about it and you sure do your part spreading the word with Peppers story.

You're his angel and even though it hurts to say this (and I've said it before)....his too short life IS heaven on earth with you for his mom....and I'm still hoping for his miracle. I just want to cry...June 28th ? Oh Kathy...you know I'm here for you but I'll be a mess too....
