Oprah takes on Puppy Mills

When I got Benjamin & Henry I had no idea about the horror of puppy mills.  I have since learned a lot about the horrendous breeding conditions that exist in puppy mills.

Today, Oprah will be talking about puppy mills and discussing the cruel realities of the puppy industry.  As animal lovers this is going to be a hard show to watch, but I think having Oprah tackle this issue is going to go a long way in raising the awareness of puppy mills.

Tune in if you can.

I am so glad Oprah is bringing visibility to this terrible business. People have a lot of respect for her and she has a huge audience to help spread the word.

I won’t be able to watch this show; the images will haunt me.  Be sure if the show is on to not let any pugs watch it.  This story will scare the pug poop out of them!

I can’t watch this stuff...I am not naive to it - but it just destroys me and I want to close them all down and burn the owners at the stake.
I too am glad Oprah is getting in on it- the word will definitely spread!

I bought my little one on line from Sugar Creek Kennels in Alabama. She was born in Dec of 07. Today I discovered they rebred her poor mom and have a new litter not 4-months after mine. My little one is health but a total bugger. I had a dog trainer come to my house yesterday (I am house bound). He says she shows no sighs of ever being around humans. It will take a lot of time AND I’ve hard a High School student to come and take her for long walks both in the morning and evening. He says to love her like crazy and be very gentel with how I talk to her.I’m just thankful this little one know what love, company and being well cared for are. Sorry it is so long, but I am in tears with her in my lap praying there is someway to close all these places down.

Yes, such a sad subject.  Hopefully, Oprah will bring enough attention to the situation, more people will be aware and the sales will drop and put them out of business.  Unfortunately, people will still be so in love with those adorable faces that they will keep many in business. :-(

Excuse me, gotta go hug my babies.

If the work can be spread then Oprah is the one to do it. I say you go Girl! Those puppy mills are too horrible for words. I say shut them all down and give the people who run them a life long prison sentence.

What say you?
