LuAnn Kennedy -------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Friend, Do you know about puppy mills? If you don't -- and even if you do -- then you've got to watch this undercover video: http://humanesociety.org/stoppuppymills Puppy mills are large scale operations that force breeder dogs to produce litter after litter to support consumer demand for puppies. Puppies sold in pet stores or through Internet sites come from places filled with suffering, disease, malnutrition, and loneliness. Even the puppies themselves are often prone to a variety of diseases. Some die within days or weeks of purchase. The Humane Society of the United States is working to stop puppy mills and they need your help. Please watch this short video that exposes the cruelty of puppy mill dog auctions. Then, you can take action by pledging to stop supporting the retailers that perpetuate cruel breeding practices.
