I told her all about it and she's so excited. She's at my mom's house and she has a horse farm so she's out with them all day. We're going to get online together over the phone this evening hopefully so I can show her around. I want to talk to her about what we're going to order from the humane society and when she gets home we're going to go around and try to distribute the info to our local vets, groomers and hopefully PetSmart, Pet Co and Pet Supermarket. Maybe I'll work up the nerve to sneakily distribute at petstores but I'm not sure if I'm as brave as Kim.

Your daughter is wonderful and I'm so glad she's on the site since we only have a FEW PEOPLE posting :confused: She is very mature for her age, a true animal lover & is already an asset to Millbusters (and so are YOU !):)

anyone that has a story to share is welcome to join us....and on those flyers - we can hang them in our supermarkets too - My Kroger has a huge bulletin board and I'm taking one today to put up.

I find this site very interesting . I sent the address to several of my friends . Hope they will join .

Okay, call me a pain but just wanted to bring this back up. I thought we'd be seeing a lot more YTers by now. It just takes a second to join and post a quick hi.;) It's a sister site so you're not taking anything away from YT.

I thiught you all would like to read this

I got this in Email today Very good reading
I'm writing today to tell you about a groundbreaking class action lawsuit filed yesterday on behalf of members of The Humane Society of the United States against a notorious Florida puppy mill dog dealer.

This lawsuit is the latest step in a multi-year legal battle by The HSUS against a company called Wizard of Claws and its owners in response to widespread reports that this store routinely sells sick and dying puppy mill puppies to unsuspecting customers.

The suit underscores Rule #1 when looking for a new pet: Don't buy unless you see first-hand where the pet came from.

The suit -- filed in Broward County Circuit Court on behalf of more than 100 Wizard of Claws' former customers -- is based on numerous consumer complaints about Wizard of Claws misleading customers and selling unhealthy puppy mill puppies in blatant violation of Florida law. The suit claims that puppies purchased in their stores had serious genetic defects or fell sick or died within days of purchase, and that the retailer refused to either reimburse customers or pay expensive veterinary bills.

The purpose of this class action suit is to prevent Wizard of Claws from selling puppy mill puppies to unsuspecting buyers. And we want to send a powerful signal to other pet stores and Internet retailers that business as usual cannot continue.

With your help, we can advance our fight to stop puppy mills. As The HSUS prepares to battle in court, here are some actions you can take right now:

https://img.getactivehub.com/an2/cus...lls3_bull1.gifIf you are thinking of bringing a new dog into the family, or know someone who is, request a free copy of our puppy buyer's guide for information on how to find reputable breeders, shelters, and rescue groups.

https://img.getactivehub.com/an2/cus...lls3_bull2.gifDownload one of our Stop Puppy Mills campaign badges or banners to your own MySpace or Facebook page, blog, or website.

https://img.getactivehub.com/an2/cus...lls3_bull3.gifDownload Puppy Mill Cruelty flyers and post them or give them out at your neighborhood dog park, to engage fellow dog owners and help spread the word.

The puppy mill industry will continue to thrive as long as consumers are kept in the dark about the tactics and conditions employed to mass produce purebred puppies and designer dogs. With your help, we'll shed light on the cruelty of puppy mills and put this brutal industry out of business.

Thank you for your commitment to stopping puppy mills and for all that you do for animals.

Sincerely,

THANK you for joining !! We don't need activists (but it helps) :D but we DO need people posting - it's a good place to share your stories if you have them and and even better way to talk about the horrors of what Dogs live thru on a daily basis all across the country. The more people that talk about it - the more will hear

Ah... Kim, I joined a couple days ago and it's still telling me " I don't have permission to post ". I do have a user name and password. I can't remember but I think it said I had to reply to an e-mail that was sent to be in order to post and I haven't gotten any e-mails. HELP!!!!:confused: "Thanks"...:)
