The American Kennel Club (AKC) really should be ashamed of themselves, and be put out of business. Puppy mills comprise 80% of the akc’s business. It registered 917247 puppies in 2003 at the cost of approximately $25.00 per puppy. AKC support is the main impetus behind puppy mills. AKC slogan: “We’re more than champion dogs. We’re the dogs’ champion.” (Hah!!!!!) Read their website — they are evil. AKC contact page: www.akc.org AKC opposed House Bill (HB) 2470 to regulate puppy mills in Oregon, and many others; they are against ownership limits for commercial breeders and oppose all Bills that attempt to crack down even minimally on puppy mills, and they instruct their members to act on their behalf. As long as there are people demanding purebred puppies and allowing the breeding business, including puppy mills, to be profitable, our shelters will continue killing thousands of lovable, healthy animals daily. The puppy mills really must be stopped…everyone says it, even Oprah, but they continue. …IT MUST BE STOPPED! Let the AKC know what you think of them.
The TV was on Animal Planet which showed a puppy mill bust. Molly seemed saddened by their desperate yapping.
Last Chance for Animals is fighting the battle against pet shops that sell puppy mill dogs all over Los Angeles. The citizens of Thousand Oaks worked with LCA to bring the ban puppy mill brochures and Adopt Don’t Shop signs to their neck of the woods.
Last week investigative reporter David Goldstein exposed some dog breeders operating or being supplied by puppy mills. Now some of the rescued dogs are being spayed or neutered before being put up for adoption Last week thousands of people showed up to shelters in response to our reports. Many of the puppies have been adopted but there are always more. Please call the LA Department of Animal Care and Control at 661-940-4191 before going a shelter location.

This clip includes the video track, the original audio track (Charlize’s voice), as well as the music I composed for it. I hope you consider Charlize’s important message about the unnecessary suffering of dogs in puppy mills too. Thanks for viewing and listening. Thank you PETA for allowing me to use this video for my school project and for allowing me to share it with others here. I am pleased to have completed my school project on something in which I truly believe.
