Fwd: ACTION ALERT: HSUS reveals an 8 month investigation into Petland, Inc! / CAPS North American Protest

[Guest guest]

 

 

Dear Companion Pet Lovers ~

 

Some GREAT investigative work conducted by HSUS into the operations of Petland (scroll down to launch the video link)

 

The Companion Animal Protection Society (a strong supporter of our efforts to ban dog auctions in Ohio) is organizing a North American protest on Saturday, December 20, 2008 against pet shops that sell puppy mill dogs. We are asking everyone to join them in their efforts to raise awareness about this critical issue. For those interested in participating in a peaceful protest against Petland stores located in Columbus, OH (locations and times to be confirmed), you will be receiving additional details of this event under separate cover.

 

 

For more information, please visit http://www.caps-web.org/. We also invite you to check out the CAPS teen/college/young adult website, http://www.caps2point0.org/. CAPS is also on Facebook, MySpace and just started a Facebook Causes page.

 

Thanks everyone!

Results from an HSUS investigation into Petland, Inc., reveal that many of the stores support abusive puppy mills.

 

America's largest chain of puppy-selling pet stores, Petland Inc., is also the nation's largest retail supporter of puppy mills. An eight-month investigation by The HSUS reveals that many Petland stores across the country are marketing puppy mill puppies to unsuspecting consumers.
