This is more than a moral issue and it deserves to be made known from coast to coast, because the general public does not have a clue. Help expose these criminals, because that is what tehy are.
Dear Oprah,
You have access to give free cars to your audiences, you should at least reply back and if you don't want to do a show, at least give contacts to help the issue.
We had no idea how many abused, neglected, and unwanted dogs there are out there until we got involved in Boston Terrier Rescue. There are simply too many! The public buys these animals and really have no idea of the work involved in training a new puppy. If everyone understood there are purebred adult dogs out there that are mostly already housebroken and crate-trained, they wouldn't need to buy the puppies.
I started in dogs forty four years ago, I thoght by ths time that I wouldn't see dogs in the pounds and any mixed breeds.
Because of the puppy mills and irresponsible breeders we have just as many. With the deliberate mixing of breeds and greed and AKC not intervening; I'm afraid that we will see them for a long time. as
I have the seen and taken care of some of the "used up" breeders from these puppy mills. Those cute and adorable puppies come from some pretty harsh conditions. Please expose them for what they really are. Have a heart for the Moms and Dads that those puppies come from.
I know that Oprah loves her dogs. And, although she focuses more on HUMAN interest topics, I hope she will think of the misery that could have befallen her own precious pooches had they been forced to suffer this tragic beginning.
I've seen these mills in PA, have a ***** that all she did was breed for 9 long years. She had never seen a home - her life was a filthy cage. Help!!!!! expose these horrible people!!!!
Please host a show on this important issue! I live in the lancaster county area and am appalled at the puppy mills we have here and what happens to the dogs in them. People need to be aware of the situation and how the dogs are suffering.
Please consider doing a show on puppy mills. Your show is a source of education for millions and is a true impetus for change. We would save so many innocent animals from suffering. Thank you.
Oprah, please help us stop puppy mills. I live in South Carolina and am appalled at how the authorities ignore the abuse and neglect coming from puppy mills.
I myself can testify of how wonderful an animal can be. I am a combat Veteran and look forward to waking up with my dog to get my life in order.I live alone and he is my saviour in life!! Please help someone else and support this petition.
DEAR OPRAH
PLEASE HELP US GET RID OF THESE HORRIBLE PUPPY MILLS.WE WERE LUCKY WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR KASEY HE IS A PURE WHITE MALTESE .WE DID NOT KNOW AT THE TIME THAT THE STORE WE BOUGHT HIM WAS A PUPPY MILL...THANK GOD HE IS HEALTHY I DONT KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO IF ANYTHING HAPPENED TO HIM BECAUSE OF THE BREEDING OF THESE POOR FEMALE MALTESE OR ANY OTHER ANIMAL .I LOVE HIM SO MUCH AND I HATE TO HEAR AND SEE THESE HELPLESS ANIMALS HURT..BREEDING OF DOGS AND ANYOTHER ANIMAL SHOULD BE DONE IN THE RIGHT WAY..THANK YOU
Oprah, you and your television show are so highly looked up to and respected. Please help these poor babies that are brought into this world by humans who do not have a heart or the capacity to love what God has given us to care for. Are you aware of the terrible situations that these babies are raised in? I have seen too many articles in our newspapers of raids on puppy mills, it breaks my heart and would yours I know.
I have owned pedigree dogs in the past, but I knew the breeder and knew that he always waited a season inbetween his breeding. He did this for two reasons, one was because the stress of pregnancy is tremendous on the female (can you image having 6-10 children at a time) and he found that the puppies that were breed were of a better disposition and temperment. He bred 120-145 pound rottiweilers - the parents were show dogs having wom many awards. Please consider what these puppy mills are doing to these wonderful animals. They suck them dry from nutrients and then sell their offspring to the highest bidder. Oprah you are real people, and most of us out here don't live your lifestyle, please help us get the word out. Puppies can speak for themselves they need our help!!
A dog lives for nothing more than to love; it asks for very little. Open your heart, Oprah, as you have done many times for people. Include all living creatures in the love you share. Please.
We have rescued two dogs from puppymills. You would be apauled at the conditions these little angels have to endure. Please take a moment to think about doing a piece on your show. I know Oprah loves dogs!
Oprah,Please find it in your hear to help these poor animals, they have a life of horror. Many of the adult dogs do not know how to walk as they are kept in cages only. It is an outrage and must be stopped.
PLEASE Oprah - we and the furbabies need your help. We need to close these awful places down. I bought a dog, years ago, from one of these places (I didn't know it at the time until I research "after" the fact) and even though my dog ended up being alright after several Vet trips, I know of way too many innocent furbabies dieing. I beg you, please help us in this matter. These pet stores that do business with these puppy mills need to be reported on too, like these Mall Pet Stores. I beg you on behalf of our babies that can't, please help.
Oprah - There are so many homeless pets in need of loving homes in shelters, please help stop puppy millers so that the pet population stabilizes and all the wonderful homeless pets find homes!
