This is a sad indication of our society and how little we value life in any form. Oprah you have the power and resources to shed light on this cruel and inhuman process that is going on. You could help save thousands/millions of dogs from dying. Many people who purchase these animals from petshops do so without knowing where "their cute little dog in the window" came from.

What the general public doesn't know, the shame and horror perpetrated by puppy millers, hurts everyone. Yes, everyone. Imagine buying a cute puppy and giving your heart to it only to find it is suffering from some dreadful disease which (at best) will cost more money than you can afford or (worst of all) die far too soon. Imagine, too, the deplorable conditions that cute puppy's parents lived under to produce a "money-making crop" for human parasites to get rich on.

If Oprah thinks beef cattle are abused she needs to check out the companion pet industry! I hope you get involved and expose some of these terrible places. Not all breeders are bad but many only care about how much money they can make for the least cost.
#3875

Brenda Dotray said 11/04/04, 9:24 pm (verified)
We need your help to expose the terrible conditions, and treatment that persist in these puppy mills. We also need to inform the public of the health certifications, such as OFA Hips, Patellas, and Elbows, Eye CERF, and Thyroid testing, that should be done on the parents before breeding ever takes place, to educate the public, so that they may make an informative, educational decision in their search for the right dog/pup.

Oprah, there is a world of cruelty going on out there that is not seen my most people who buy puppies from pet stores. The reality of what goes on in puppy mills is beyone cruelty. It would take some work to locate and expose puppy mills but, with the help of those who know, it would be quite simple to do. It's not pretty, it's not elegant, it's horror.
