puppy mills Is there anything we can do as a YT Family???? Those poor babies and adults, they don't deserve that!!!!! :mad: |
I always wished I could take out a full page ad about puppy mills in all the major newspapers, or buy billboards going into MO and PA teliing people about them! Maybe someone in advertising can develope a marketing plan and we can come up with a grass roots media blitz. Just an idea. |
How much does it cost to rent billboard space? |
Or better yet...there maybe billboards next to these puppy mills, and we can rent the space right next to it. |

I'd pitch in!!! |
I"d pitch in too. |
There are puppymill billboards on the PA Turnpike in Lancaster County. |
That is a good place for a billboard. I know that there are puppymills everywhere, but I have heard that there are a lot of them in PA. Just what I have heard. |
I live in PA and it's usually only one spicific area of our state that is a puppymill which might explain why I always see Yorkies in the pet store for 1899.99 and it might have a heart murmur!!! It's really sad and cruel what they do to these tiny, poor, little defenseless creatures!!! :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: |
Is anybody from Pennsylvnia????????????? |
I am :wavey: 10 minutes from Lancaster where alot of the puppy mills are. I will not support them. Would rather travel hundreds of miles away :yelrotflm ) I decided to get Gizmo from NY and our new furbaby is coming from Ohio next weekend. Gizmo05's mom |
Ever so often, I write to lots and lots of news papers, and talk shows in hopes that they will do a show or investigate puppy mills. I think if more people did this, it would take notice. I think there are alot of people on this forum, but not a lot of people write in. Maybe some people don't know what to say. But if we had all of the people on this forum write one letter a week, just think what that could do. I write one letter and send it to everyone I can think of. Then I wait a week, and then send another letter. Just think if these places got 3,000 letters a week on this issue, that would be 12,000 emails a month. I think 12,000 a month is noticeable. Just a thought. James |
Good for you James!!! Well James, maybe you can start a new thread and post a draft letter (the one you use and others can add input or make other drafts) and where you get your email address's from and which ones were used (so we are not spamming people) and let's get started!!! :eyeballpc I think we are all on here (the internet) a considerable amount of time to copy, paste and send these emails out!!! Wouldn't you all agree? How hard can it be? We don't like what we see and/or hear...Let's do somthing about it!!! Gizmo05's mom |
The thing is, I think there was thread that started awhile back, and that was what prompted me to write, and I write major news channels like ABC, CBS, OPRAH, and the latest one was 20/20 after the SPCA thing. I think there are number of people on here who are more verse than I am and can draft a better letter than I can. I'm sure there are people on here who have more information about puppymills and have detail information that I don't. That is the person that should draft a letter. Is there anyone that can draft a great, straight to the point letter that we can use? But incase there is no one...I will start to draft a letter...like you said the internet does wonders. |
Haven't really heard of any puppy mills over here, but they sound awful! It's cold and heartless to treat a poor defencless creature cruelly. I can't ever imagine deliberatly hurting an animal. They're living things like eveyone else... would hate to think of my baby in a mill... actually, i hate to think of any animal stuck in a misreable old mill. :( |
Hello, I am new to this board but here is an article about puppy mills from PETA It is about an investigator that went undercover to work at a puppy. The investigator found things like "the collar on a Labrador retriever had not been adjusted as the dog grew and had become embedded in his flesh. Even though the gangrenous skin fell away as the collar was removed, it was treated with nothing but a worm-repellant spray." It seems there is also a video. This is a factsheet from PETA and has some further possible source of research cited at the bottom. Hope this helps I can do some research if it is helpful, let me know |
What if we as a group compose a letter and send it to all the talk shows that we can think of?? I dont know how many of you like D. Phil but his daughter has yorkies. I saw then a the airport in Denver one time and she had 2 little gorgeous yorkies with her. I think if we composed a letter as a group and each and every one of us printed it out, signed it and mailed it to each place we all agreed on we might have some pull. JMO I have been thinking about writing Opah about this too. |
puppymills i for it i hate mills |
I think we need someone to make us an online petition that we all can sign, print out individually and send out to everyone we can think of. care2 does online petitions a lot for environmental causes and then emails them out, but I think hard copies are more effective. I would be willing to help draft it if someone would do all the computer stuff - sometimes I have a hard time connecting to the net :confused: ! Lets try to keep this bumped up front! Windy |
Hey YT Family... LETS DO IT!! I am all for it! :thumbup: |

I think this could work...there are tons of us on here...so that means tons of support and letters. Will admin. care? |

That was my thought, There are so many of us here and we all know people so besides us we could try to get other people to sign these letters and send them in also. I know that I could get everyone that I work with and all my family and friends to sign and send. Whatcha all think?? |
