PLEASE convince your friends, neighbors, co-workers etc. to never BUY a puppy from a pet store or the internet ...especially as a "gift"!

                            ***************

  If we stop BUYING and instead ADOPT from shelters ... the puppy mills will go out of business.

Dear Senator,

As one of the millions of animal lovers in this country, I am deeply concerned but also outraged at the inhumane and torturous treatment of dogs in PUPPY MILLS across this nation and want this issue to be made a priority for Congress.

We want the Animal Welfare Act enforced to the fullest extent and expanded to include kennels that sell puppies directly to the public.  We want the USDA held accountable for truthful and accurate inspection reports of these horrible places. The most recent published report by the Inspector General proves that the USDA has NOT been doing it's job of enforcing the AWA and has been allowing violations to continue for decades!  The people are watching closely to see how our elected officials will handle this horrific problem that is truly a disgrace to our country.

Please give this matter your immediate attention.

Thank you,
