This important heads-up was forwarded to me by a friend and
fellow animal welfare volunteer. Please check your local TV
listings for the airtime of Oprah.
On Friday, April 4 at 4:00 pm EST, OPRAH will air a show exposing
puppy mill horrors and working to educate the public on how
to stop supporting them
through purchases of their "products" at the pet stores. Lisa Ling did the
investigation, and was as disgusted and appalled as those of us who
work with
the dogs rescued from these places.
Please spread the word about this episode. Please watch the show, listen
to the stories, and open your heart to the atrocities these
sweet animals have to
live with. Then, take action to stop the mills and the stores that
treat animals like cash crops.
