Friends,

It has become obvious in dealing with the officials in Pennsylvania that

they will not make any effort to help the dogs in puppymills because the

dogs

don't vote or have money to donate to political campaigns. (Just this week

a politician told me that the only way that they were even going to enforce

the law that currently exists, much less change the law, is if it was

important

to people who donated a lot of money to political campaigns).

 

It is critically important that we can show them that there are an enormous

number of people who care about the dogs and those people do vote. It is

important to show the officials that people will not visit Lancaster County,

 

Pennsylvania until something is done to stop the suffering. We have to show

that if they allow the puppymills to continue, the county and the businesses

will be hurt financially. Money is the only language that they understand.

 

For anyone not familiar with puppymills in Pennsylvania please visit

http://www.hua.org and click on 'Prisoners of Greed'.

In

Pennsylvania the majority of puppymills are concentrated in one single

county -

Lancaster County. The officials refuse to enforce the law there because they

are

blinded by the Pet Breeders Association and the Farm Bureau who throw around

a

lot of money in political campaigns. The man in charge of the state agency

that

is supposed to enforce the law has said that he will not enforce it in

Lancaster

County.

 

The conditions of the mills are horrible. The majority of the mills are

operated by people who are of the Amish or Mennonite religious beliefs and

therefore usually do not have electricity. So the majority of the kennels

do

not have have heat or air conditioning. There are small short haired dogs

out in

wooden boxes in below zero temperatures today. These dogs are bred over and

over

until they die. If they don't die, they are sold to research labs when they

no

longer make money for the kennel.

 

Should you have any thoughts about Amish and Mennonite people having

compassion

for their animals, you only have to read the article in the local newspaper

today that talks about a 13 year old sheltie kept in a kennel piled with

feces

for 9 years, never one time ever getting out of the cage in 9 years. When

he

was rescued he was lame and limped in circles because he had gone round and

round in circles out of boredom in the cage for 9 years. I have personally

been

to the kennels in Lancaster County. I have seen and touched the dogs and can

describe the conditions from my own personal

observation. Any description I could give would not even begin to describe

how

terribly the dogs suffer.

 

I have set up an on line petition so that peoples' voices can be heard. It's

very easy and will only take a second of your time. Just go to

 

http://www.hua.org/Prison/millpetition1.html and fill in a few blanks.

Please forward this email to every person, egroup, mailing list that

you know. It's critically important that we have a huge response.

 

Thanks so much,

Lee Wheeler
