I hope this is something you will consider. So many people stop and listen when you speak. I recently pulled some pups from a possible back yard breeder and let me tell you the poor babies have deformed feet and were near death. You would save many lives helping with this issue. Please consider it, at least look into the issue. See if you can help in any way. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
PLEASE help us all stop PuppyMills. Animals are being tortured, neglected and abused. They are suffering. Please do a show dedicated to stopping PuppyMills. It would be so much appreciated.
If I may quote from the late Senator George Graham Vest of Missouri:
"Gentlemen of the jury: the best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his worst enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money that man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it the most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads.
The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous... is his dog.
Gentlemen of the Jury: a man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies, and when the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble do
Oprah, you are a respected person. Please do what you can to expose the horrible puppymills in the USA. Many pet shops get their "stock" from puppy/kittn mills. Let's shut them down!
AS AN ANIMAL LOVER, I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE THE LIVES THESE POOR ANIMALS ARE LIVING. I WISH SOMEONE WOULD EXPOSE THE PUPPY MILLS BEFORE THE ENTIRE WORLD, AND LET PEOPLE KNOW HOW SAD IT IS AND HOW CRUEL THE OWNERS OF THESE DEATH HOUSES ARE. WE ALL NEED TO DO OUR PART FOR THESE POOR, INNOCENT VICTIMS WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN HELD, LOVED, AND SOMETIMES EVEN, FED.IT JUST BREAKS MY HEART. I WISH I COULD TAKE EVERYONE OF THEM UNDER MY WING AND SHOW THEM WHAT THEY HAVE MISSED THEIR ENTIRE LIVES.PLEASE DON'T SHOVE THE PROBLEM UNDER THE RUG AND PRETEND IT ISN'T THERE. THOSE CAGED UP BABIES ARE A PART OF OUR WORLD AND WE NEED TO STAND UP FOR THEM ANY WAY WE CAN.
The horrors that occur in Puppy Mills cannot be truly explained and understood. We worked with a rescue and adopted a Puppy Mill puppy, but we were NOT supporting the mill. An undercover rescue worker went in and offered to take some of the puppies they did not want and we adopted one. Her name is Lexi and she is a gorgeous and sweet Boston Terrier. When she came to us she had a horrible coat, trouble walking due to the wire cages she was kept in, and there was no way she could make it up stairs for awhile, and she was deathly afraid of men. Today she is a shining dog that's living the good life, but I know not all Puppy Mill dogs can do so. Please expose the horrors of puppy mills.
Oprah,You are such a careing person I have no clue on why you would not consider a show on exposing puppy mills I believe it would be in the best interest to investigatethese horrible folks.You may want to watch detroit animal cops on animal planet and just see the horrible abuse animals recieve.I my self took a dog from someone who apparently purchased it from a puppy mill and I never owned such an untrainable animal it broke my heart . The animals have no process of learning at all,it is compareable to human race reproducing in the family,now isnt that a horrible thought? Needless to say the dog i had i gave to freinds who owned farm and they could deal with the untrainable dog because rhey had so many acres for the dog to run,and there he lived his life to the fullest.Now please think about this as a program,I beleive it have a lot of veiwers for your ratings. Sincerly Yours, Sally
As I type this there are many starving animals caged while standing in their urine and feces that has burned their paws. They are used only to breed over and over for $$$$ never to receive the love they deserve. Please help.
Puppy mills are cruelty inflicted on God's creation by another of God's creation. God won't let this keep happening to his creations but he needs the help of the ones who are have the power & position to stop it. This is a good way to use your power & ability to help as you always have in the past.
i had a basset hound that was misbred from a puppy mill and she was vicious and my friends Yorkie was almost bred to death. When we rescues her most of her teeth had to be pulled from neglect and she had breast cancer. Lucky my friend bought her and was willing to invest the money in a 5 year old dog to save her life!
If you could just see the condition of the place these poor helpless puppies and dogs are subjected to, you would see how important it is to stop the maddness. No animal should be subjected to this kind or life...or death.

How much is that doggie in the window? The price puppy mill dogs pay to line the pockets of unscrupulous "commercial breeders" is
horrendous & something that should be brought to light to the American public. Oprah, you have the power to make a difference. People listen to what you have to say.
Oprah,
Your broad reach and devoted fan base have made many miracles hsappen. Please help us put an end to puppy mills. They are a shame of the human race.
THANK YOU !!
Oprah, the animals in the mills have no hope for a real life except through rescue efforts and publicity. Humans have no right to make money at the expense of innocent animals. Please expose this situation to the public.
I think it is important for puppy mills to be exposed. Many people unknowingly by from them due to lack of education about them. Many of these breeder never allow the buyers to see their facility and the general public doesn't realize that there is a reason they are not being shown the facility. People who knowingly or unknowingly buy from puppy mills need to see what they are funding.
Oprah, The general public I believe, just does not know the truth about the majority of places that their "cute puppy in the window" comes from. Only responsible breeders do health screens on their dogs and puppies. Plus reference checks on the potential new home.
Please help put a stop to the millions of dogs and cats put to sleep or worse yearly by doing a show on the horrors of back yard breeders and puppy millers.
Thank you for your time.
Dear Oprah, One of the most horrendous abuses of our loving dogs takes places every day in puppy mills, where dogs are bred constantly and kept in filthy conditions. The puppies of these poor dogs are undersocialized and don't receive the necessary medical treatment to keep them healthy. Meanwhile, thousands of deserving puppies and dogs languish in animal shelters because they humans who bought them didn't consider the responsibility of pet ownership. Please help expose this awful problem. Thank you.
Oprah, I would encourage you to view for your self the horrible conditions that puppymill owners subject these beautiful dogs to. Please take the time to investigate the living conditions and then judge for yourself.
Please, bring this out in the open.
Visit the sites that show these dogs in puppy mills. The poor dogs are mainly in wire cages and the cages sit on top of one another three or four or more high. They do their thing and it falls down into the other cages and lands on little puppies that were just born and their mommy and daddy doggies too. It is so terrible to see what happens to these dogs. Some have broken jaws and legs. Their paws get deformed from standing in those cages all their lives, unless they are rescued. There are so few who get rescued and they are sometimes the lucky ones, if they live.
They do not know what a doggie toy is or the affection of a human being. They are not properly fed, if they get any food at all.
When you have seen a video of a puppy mill and the condition the dogs are in, you cry your eyes out. I know, I saw quite a few on puppymill.com. National Geographic has specials on about puppy mills every once in a while, also.
Won't you please help these poor unfortunate little dogs and try to get puppy mills to be against the law.
I wish President Bush could be on the show while you show these puppy mills. Maybe he would do something about it.
