Teach people how to treat animals and explain that they are not objects that should be mass produced. We don't mass produce children and abuse them without caring...all mankind should be respected.

Oprah, We really need your help with this VERY worthwhile cause. Your name carries a lot of weight(although YOU don't...what's up with that, girlfriend?!) I implore you to look into this. I've seen you broadcast much less meaninfull, nonetheless, newsworthy stories, but this is a very serious one, even if it may not be considered NEWSWORTHY. There are lives at stake here even if they are animals. That must mean something to you. PLease help. I(we) would be so grateful for ANYTHING you can do to further this cause. By the way, you're looking GOOD! :-)

Your show reaches millions and they need to be educated about puppy mills before they make the same mistake I made. I bought my dog from a puppy store and only later found out she was a puppy mill dog. She started showing bone problems at only a year old. The vet said she had the bones of a 5 year old dog. Please educate the public about the crimes committed by puppy mills.

I am a animal rescuer in the GA area. I save animals 24/7. Many animals I take in come from a puppymill situation. I will never be able to STOP this full time volunteer position until laws are put into place outlawing breeders from selling sick, deformed, unsocialized dogs. They all end up in rescue or killed in the gas chambers at the local animal dumping shelters.

Ms. Winfrey, celebrities can often reach the public when others cannot. Would you please consider a segment on puppies and expose the terrible situation with puppy mills. This is a practice that must stop. Just ask the Animal Cops in NYC, how many animals get put to death each year, simply because they are homeless? Pet overpopulation must stop; the public will listen to you.

Dear Oprah, May God bless you in all the good you have provided. Through your voice, many dogs will be spared the horrific life of a "Puppy Mill" dog. I implore you to help to bring this very serious matter to the attention of the American public. Puppy Mills are a dog's living hell and they must be stopped forever. No living creature of God should ever have to endure their pain and suffering. Please use your voice to stop them. Michaelann
