In rescue we see the dogs that do not live,are born without jaws,or hair,asked to come in and foster these dogs while a judge decides what to do,only to sadly see them returned to the same horrors, dogs piled in crates upon crates, feces falling onto the next one, never walking in green grass or snuggling in warm beds. Please help!

#6079

Christiane Biagi said 11/05/04, 2:38 am (verified)
How we treat our animal friends says an awful lot about how we treat each other.... Hundreds of thousands of animals are killed each year simply because they are inconvenient. Puppy mills, indeed far too many breeders, play to our need to have a 'perfect' animal. Maybe we should be thinking about the love a pet can teach us instead of the status it might bring us. You've educated so many about so much; please consider the plight of our throwaway pets. Thank you.

Imagine your dog you love so much being bred to death for profit. That is what these poor dogs endure in their short lives and it is done in the worst possible without good food or vet care. Worst of all, without love. These dogs are treated as profit not a loved family member as all companion animals should be. Public awareness is the only way to close these mills down.

Oprah: Please help us to ensure this type of horror will end. Puppy Mills are so inhumane and so filty and discusting. Would you put your mother or father in a rest home you didnt know was legally and capable of all state and federal guidelines--why do we allow puppy mills for there is no state inspections no federal guidelines nothing--they need to be shut down and the animals need to be saved--my heart bleeds with every one of these precious babies we try to save (I belong to Pap911) a papillion rescue group and it makes me so sad and sick and depressed to know that puppy mills exsist and what the poor babies-adults goes through-please Oprah will all my heart and sympathy please help us to end these puppy mills and make it known to everyone what a discgrace it is we allow these to go on and the people who run them to live. I would always wish that the people who actually run them would be brought to trial and placed in a cage smaller then them and not feed-bathed-touched-loved ---how long would they exsist--but yet that is how puppy mills treat the dogs-cats--etc god bless you Oprah please make a difference in this issue. charlotte luna mcconnelsville ohio charchar@core.com

Dear Oprah, I know that if you have someone research the puppy mills & you read the results, it will tear out your heart. Some pet store owners are convinced by beautiful brochures and a very impressive semi-truck that the dogs they are purchasing are not from the puppy mills that have overcrowding, filthy, and overbreeding conditions. Please help make the public and the pet store owners aware of these conditions. I admire you for all the work you have done for the children of Africa who cannot speak for themselves, much like the animals who are abused, neglected, starved and sold! We who rescue need your help! Respectfully, Bev Wright Toledo, Ohio
