New
Puppy Mill Outlet Demo
As
if we don't already have enough,
there is another new puppy mill
outlet in the area, this one in
St. Peters. It is run by a couple
known for their longtime exploitation
of dogs. They're so tacky they named
the place "Puppies."
And, it can't be a coincidence
the store is situated between Toys
R Us and Planet Fun.
A demo is scheduled for Sunday,
May 10, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm.
You can find all of these details
on our
site
too, including specific directions.
We realize it's Mother's Day, but
really, what better way to spend
it than speaking up for the
mother dogs who are systematically
abused so this couple can make money?

While
We're on the Subject of Puppy Mills...
Last
Chance for Animals,
a champion of beleaguered dogs,
will be featured on a special episode
of "The Dog Whisperer,"
Friday, May 8 (tomorrow) at 8:00
pm CDT, on the National
Geographic Channel.
Cesar Millan will go with an undercover
LCA investigator as he goes behind
the scenes at puppy mills. (Be sure
to send positive comments to the
NGC.)

As for
Oprah
Just
when we thought we could count on
Oprah to help fight animal
abuse, she goes and offers a free
KFC meal coupon! She
just recently had a program on factory
farming, too! Is her memory
so bad she forgot the atrocious
conditions in which these animals
exist? Chickens make up the vast
majority of the animals eaten, and
they happen to be the most abused.
On top of that KFC is probably the
worst of the bunch. Let
Oprah know
what you think of her short-term
memory.
