What we need to do is each find a Pet store in our area and go protest. I will not do it in my underwear like PETA does :0) They get on the evening news I probably would get arrested for loitering. WE need to make a brochure to hand out to educate the people. How to pick a breeder Questions to ask before buying a puppy. If we make enough noise people will listen. Lets make a T shirt that that says Buying from Pet Shops promotes Puppy Mills Have a graphic picture of a puppy mill on it. Wear it in public and invite people to ask you questions.

Since it is impossible to ensure that 70,000 puppies will be placed in good homes, and since the breeder is not taking responsibility for these puppies, one can only guess how many end up in shelters (or worse). This averages on a 8 puppy litter to 8750 litters a year and someone correct me if I'm wrong but even the biggest breeders amoung us could not hope to produce that many litters in a lifetime of breeding. Does anyone really believe that this man is interested in being "educated" as he lines his pockets each year with millions of dollars. Hmmmm, I don't think so. As far as why there isn't an outcry over a club members dealing with this man, well I think the answer has been said many times in the last couple of days. Cindy you keep going round and round. Show me where in the bylaws/application process PLEASE where the club (represented by the board) had a legal leg to stand on. Your passion is wonderful to behold. Now, if you want to be effective, work to change the bylaws.
