Let's take care of the dogs already abandoned. There are so many wonderful mixed breed dogs waiting for adoption. The life of an animal should be to feed someone's greed.
There is enough suffering and anguish happening in the world let's not forget man's best friend. We can make a difference one day at a time..one less suffering at a time.
I have two bassets and the thought of this happening to them makes me sick.Please do a show to help these cruel people punished. I feel so sorry for the pups.
OPRAH,OPRAH she's our gal,if she can't get the word out noone shall!! People love and respect you and what better cause is there than for God's creatures to be saved from a life of torture and PURE HELL!
4 million animals per year are euthanized in this country alone. Puppy mills are worse than death camps. The females NEVER get to leave their wire bottomed cages, they are matted, hair pulling at every millimeter of their skin, they are exposed to extreme cold and extreme heat and, when they cannot produce puppies any more, they are KILLED. We need to close down puppy mills NOW!
Puppy mills have long since been known to harbor criminal activity against helpless animals that depend on us for their very existence. They do nothing to harm the human race. Exposing the abuse and inhumanity of puppy mills to a national audience will help greatly in opening eyes and ears to the abuse.
If you can do something through your show to stop this abuse of animals, please do it! The treatment of these animals is horrendous. Just take a look at some of the pictures you can find on the internet of puppy mills and you'll wonder why you didn't do this sooner.
Imagine what people would say if this were a practise for raising children! We are all God's creatures and none of us deserve to be abused! Tell the world!!!
Please let your viewers know that buying that "adorable" puppy at a Pet Shop just adds to the puppy mill problem because that is where they get their "stock". Horrible, cruel and the little ones cannot speak for themselves.
Oprah, please help us help these poor, defenseless "folks".Puppy mills are really no way to treat "Man's Best Friend". You have the voice that can and will be heard. Thanks for your support!
Oprah,
I hope you will take this seriously and consider this a good enough topic to have on your show. Thanks for all you've to better the world. We need many more role models such as yourself.
Oprah, you do so many wonderful things and reach so many people. You could speak for the animals who can't speak for themselves in such terrible conditions.
You and your show are very influential not just on the general public, but on politicians who are in a position to strengthen existing laws and wipe out this "business" of suffering. Please use your reach, Oprah.
So many of the the general public no nothing about the torturous existance of PuppyMill Dogs. If you do a show you will do so much to raise awareness of the torture and cruelty in puppy mills, all in the name of th ealmighty buck. Please you can to so much to help.
Please consider the importance of the issue and the tremendous impact you will have by doing a show on this. As one of the most admired women in the world, you have the attention of millions-please help.
Perfectly nice people are unwittingly contributing to this horrific and inhumane practice. I'd think people would appreciate being educated to the problem. It is sadly a reflection of our society. Your wonderful show could enlighten so many, and spare animals the torture of puppy mill life.
Oprah, you are such an inspiration to so many people. Please consider helping to stop the cruelty that so many 'puppy mill' dogs have to endure. Expose these 'farmer's for what they are ...thoughtful, greedy, non animal loving people.
Thank you for your consideration.
Dogs are animals, however, these puppy mill people don't let them these poor dogs out of their cages. Many times these cages aren't large enough to accomodate the dog. They live in horrid conditions for the purpose of someone making a buck on selling puppies. They must be stopped.
Puppy mills, found in all states, are a booming business in Missouri. It is one of the most inhumane practices you will ever see and never forget. Dogs stacked up in wires kennels,2 and 3 high, without proper medical attention, food, water, orsocialization. The smell is horrendous..will make you gag. These dogs/pups are being raised for Pet Stores primarily. Most of them are not healthy. Genetically they are a walking time bomb. For years, people have tried to shut these places down. The commercial breeders get a slap on the hand, if anything. Please use your clout, and large coverage area to make a difference for these dogs.
Oprah, thank you for giving your voice to save dogs from a life of hell. I have no doubts that you will do a show on puppy mills, to expose the cruel and greedy people who run them.
Puppymills are horrid. I have great friends who rescued pug from one, and she needed surgery to correct all the horrors of being on of the mother pugs there.
You had the story about my daughter-in-laws's wonderful dog and the money well spent on taking care of him because he helped save her son's life.
Please help these helpless victims who can't speak for themselves.
Oprah, you've addressed many very sensitive, humane issues and made your millions of viewers aware of so many issues affecting our lives. Please expose the puppy mill industry for what it is. All dog lovers should be able to enjoy a healthy, sound pet which comes into the world from a sire and dam free of genetic defects and sound in mind and body.
Oprah ...ThankYou ....for helping so many with your charity.The pups cannot speak for themselves ...
It would Be Quite an Impact to their World of Puppy Mill Misery ...if You could Speak for Them.
Oprah, PLEASE help stop the cruelty inflicted on all the poor little souls trapped in these inhumane puppymills. You have the forum to reach millions of people and educate them on this subject. By doing so you will save thousands of precious little puppies. Thank you.
Oprah, being the animal lover that you are and icon for social change, this would be a great exposé. The general public is unaware of the horrors that exist there. No socialization, inbreeding, little or no medical care, etc. Please bring this to light and help save many dogs' lives.
Most people have no idea about puppy mills. The more people are aware the closer we'll be to putting them out of business. It's horendous what the females and their offspring have to live in. These breeders are just out to make money and don't concern themselves with responsible breeding. Many of the puppies have defects and hidded problems that show up latter and become the heartache of the owners who have come to love them.
National T.V. coverage would do a great deal to expose the horrors of puppy mills, although it would only be a start. Maybe more people will get involved after getting seeing it.
Knowing how much you love dogs (and who--with a heart--can turn away from a cute little puppy!), please help. You're powerful enough to help us get our voice heard. Thank you! From Atlanta, Beverly Pennell
I volunteer for two very fine rescue orgrinaztions. Midwest Border Collie Rescue and American Brittany Rescue. Both of these organizations do outstanding work, but I'm sure putting puppy mills out of business would decrease the number of dogs that these two, as well as the thousands of other rescue groups take in year after year.
Think of how much you loved Solomon and Sophie and then think about their mother being locked in a cage for her entire life producing pet store puppies! Responsible breeding to improve the breed is fine. Puppy Mills are NOT! Please educate the public to this situation.
Dear Oprah, It is one of my dreams to see puppy mills wiped off the face of the earth before I die. Please help, these poor animals that are so badly neglected and mistreated, dying a slow, painful death in the end, have no voices to call for help. In this day and age I cannot believe such barbaric practice still exist's. How can anyone who looks into their animals sweet eye's each day, turn their head the other way and ignore the cruelty that these other poor animals endure day in and day out, all in the name of "Business", Puppy Milling. It is inhumane and it id a tragedy that we live in such a throw away society that we can allow these animals to be treated like garbage. Oprah you are a very powerful and admirable woman and we need someone like you to help spread the word to the public and get something done about this. I hope you will see this petition as a plea for urgent help for our beloved animals, those that cannot be seen or heard that are hidden away in dark buildings where nobody goes but the cruel "keepers" making a buck off of their pups, those that survive the trip to the puppy store. I know you love animals also, please make our voices heard for those that cannot be heard. Thank you!
