Oprah Takes on Puppy Mills

[Die Fledermaus]

From the ASPCA today:

>> ACTION NEEDED: THANK OPRAH FOR CARING ABOUT PUPPY MILLS!

As an animal advocate, you are well aware of the horrors of puppy mills, and may know that there are thousands of these large-scale breeding facilities all over the United States—but many Americans don’t.

Thanks to The Oprah Winfrey Show today, millions of viewers will learn about the realities of this cruel industry. Oprah’s investigator, Lisa Ling, went undercover into a handful of Pennsylvania’s puppy mills to bring national attention to the abuses that take place there. Raising awareness is one of the most important ways to effect change for puppy mill dogs—and we are so grateful to Oprah for tackling this important issue. Please take a moment and thank The Oprah Winfrey Show—and encourage her to do a follow-up! <<

>> Today, "The Oprah Winfrey Show" aired an exposé on puppy mills that no doubt horrified everyone who watched.

Undercover footage showed dogs in filthy, overcrowded conditions, where they are confined for their entire lives, without human companionship or adequate veterinary care. These dogs are often killed once their reproductive capacity wanes.

The HSUS has been investigating and fighting against puppy mills for decades. With your help, we can advance our fight to stop puppy mills and the tragic consequences of pet overpopulation. Join us by signing the Stop Puppy Mills pledge. <<

If one drives on the PA Turnpike across the state, in the heart of the state are posted a couple of billboards that say, "STOP PUPPY MILLS!!" The mills are located out there, where there are fewer people and lots of land.

puppy mills are very cruel and should be stopped and the owners should serve time in prison for the bad treatment that they have shown to those poor animals.

it just makes me mad to see how people treat animals. i would like for just once to see someone treat people how they treated the animals and see how well they like it
