Who can the animals rely on? Only we have a voice to express disgust at the inhumane treatment of dogs at the Puppy Mills. I watch the Oprah program and enjoy the direct approach you use - can we use this same direct approach to stop the inhumanity of Puppy Mills and make people more aware and knowledgeable when it comes to where the majority of puppies come from???? Puppy Mills remind me of Auschwitz which was people's inhumanity to people - Puppy mills are people's inhumanity to animals. Can we stop this?? How can we turn a blind eye to an animal that is dependent on us for its wellbeing, and only returns what we dish out with love and a tail wag. How can we turn away from such blatant cruelty???

Dear Oprah, I am the chief deupty dog warden in a very rural county of Ohio. I receive so many unwanted dogs each year that I am forced to "humanely" euthanize once a week! There is absolutely no place for breeders of this type when the world is so full of unwanted pets. Please, please use your tremendous influence to urge people not to buy these puppies. Adopt from a shelter and always spay and neuter. I know that you are also an animal lover and we can make a difference!

I raise mini daxies and love everyone of them. They are part of our family and are loved and cared for as such. The inhumane way these puppy mills are run should be outlawed. Opra, you are a respected and loved person. You love your pet and I am sure you wouldn't want to see it in a place as these puppy mills have. Please put a program on about this. With respect and admiration, Sandra Jones and Her Doxie babies.

Research has shown a correlation between a society's willingness to abuse its animals and its willingness to abuse its people. By making animal abuse unprofitable through public awareness and a removal of their customer base, you can help improve the condition of both domestic dogs and human beings. GO FOR IT OPRAH!

If people could only see under what despicable conditions these poor dogs are kept while they produce litter after litter. When they get old (way before their time)and are no longer profitable, they are dumped.

Dear Oprah, I have written to you several times to ask you to use your powerful voice to educate people on animal overpopulation to make people aware of the importance of altering thier animals and that even one litter makes a big difference. So when this petition came to me I was glad to sign it and hope that you would consider airing a show on the horrors of puppy mills and the horrors of our shelters that are forced to put millions of animals down every year because there are simply not enough homes for them all. You say you are an animal lover but you never do animal stories. I admire you and cry when I see your story and all the things you over came to be who you are. Please Oprah do something else that is important in the lives of millions of animals. You have the power, please use it and save millions (no kidding) from being killed in our shelters each and every year. It may be the best show you ever do. There are thousands of men and women giving of thier time, money, hearts to stop animal abuse and over population. Help us help them, Thank you

Greed creates a lot of problems. Puppy mills being one of them. I believe it has also created, factory farms, the veal industry, foie gras and the list is endless. We can try to change the world and work on some of the issues but unless you can change human nature, it will never be any different. But we must still keep trying. Oprah, please help get our word out if you can to many unsuspecting people. Thank you.

Oprah, as a well-known pet lover, you have tremendous influence and can educate the American public about puppy mill abuses and the tremendous overpopulation of dogs and cats in our country. A show on puppy mills would be very compelling and would attract a large audience. Also please do a separate show on animal rescue groups, with specific breed rescue groups, such as golden retriever rescue, working tirelessly across the nation to save dogs. A "Canine Underground Railroad" (CUR) exists, which is made up of kind volunteers who commit to legs of long-distance trip to transport dogs, say, from the South to homes in the Northeast. Help educate the public and encourage them to adopt a homeless animal, rather than buy one, particularly from a pet store. We are counting on you. Karen Harmon New York State
