Another suggestion ? Puppy Mill Help Section ? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

rrosenberry · 11-29-2005, 07:24 AM

I agree there is NO activity on Millbusters,, I have posted things and I go back NO action,,, I think a section here would be good... If not we need to direct more to MILLBUSTERS,,, Go check it out EVERYONE... sign up,,, post...
Anyone not registered on millbusters.com should go register... lets get it going...

Good idea ....but I'm still going to whine about having a section here - I just know we can reach lots of people that may not click onto Millbusters - when I get bored I always cruise every single section here - some I hardly read normally - and would think we could fit a Awareness Section in this site somewhere....But I'll be BACK on Millbusters too if you all will be there again

I just posted about the video on Amish puppy mills in the Genereal Discussion AFTER posting the link in a thread in the Off Topic where I was afraid it would be missed...

Great idea, Villette!

I know I didn't miss it here but would have if it was on Millbusters - no offense - Millbusters is a good site - we just need a place where EVERYONE will see how bad it is - and yorkietalk gets a ton of traffic

That is a bummer about Millbusters! I didn't join but it wasn't because I don't fight puppymills. I had a very good reason.

But, this is my fear about having an entire section devoted ot it here is that people wouldn't read it. Most new members stay in the General and My Yorkie sections unless they have a health concern, etc. The regulars move around a little more but I am just afraid we would then HAVE TO post it in that specific section and it wouldn't get the attention.

I may be wrong and I would be all for it if it worked and actually got more attention.

red98vett · 11-29-2005, 01:25 PM

That's my point - on Millbusters ....The posts ARE getting missed...where as here - as people wander around - they'd be sure to see the posts - I know many people are in the Breeder Section - Off Topic and For Sale Sections - why not a Puppy Mill INFORMATION Section ?

the first thing I think I'd put in there would be Do NOT buy From PET STORES - too many people still don't know this -

When we had the Puppy Mill posts going in General Discusion a few weeks ago .... I was very surprised at how many people didn't know these situations exist in our country.... and many people still don't know NOT to buy in Pet Stores.....I actually got quite a few pm's from people on this site who just didn't know till they read the posts here.

I remember how I found out - it was because it was mentioned on a yorkie site - which is why I would LOVE to see it here ALL the time and not just mentioned in the General Discussion where they get bumped and gone.

I konw you do Rhonda and you're really getting involved and I just love it - way to go girl !!!

IF anyone wants to add to this request I did a poll http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23957

I haven't heard from Admin (starting to feel like the stepchild here

) so I thought I'd get everyones feelings on it and then ask again -

but I think it would be a great way to keep ongoing education visible and lots more people would learn about this sick business if we had it right here on Yorkietalk

admin · 11-30-2005, 01:41 PM

Sorry about the slow response, we have been discussing this issue at length with many people that are involved with YorkieTalk, including our legal team.

We will not be adding a section on puppymills here on YorkieTalk. After much consideration and discussion, we feel that while puppymill threads are fine here, due to potential legal issues, we will not be having a section on puppymills here. The primary focus of YorkieTalk is about Yorkies.

We created MillBusters because we want to stop puppymills and we are outraged that puppymills are still operating, and we would like to direct all efforts into that site. Remember, MillBusters started just like YorkieTalk did, with just a few members and a few posts. It can be as popular and as influential as YorkieTalk, it just takes time for people to find it, just like it took time for YorkieTalk to grow into what it is today.

This does not mean you need to stop talking about puppymills here on YorkieTalk, but we feel it's probably best to direct all anti-puppymill efforts into MillBusters. Feel free to post on MillBusters and then share the link with other sites or forums or even here on YorkieTalk. Focusing on MillBusters to help stop puppymills will be more beneficial than just having a section here on YorkieTalk.
