Fwd: MEDIA RELEASE: December 20 Peaceful Rally Against Puppy Mills (Supporting CAPS North American Pet Shop Protest)

[Guest guest]

 

 

 

To All Media:

 

On November 20, 2008, The Humane Society of the United States revealed the results of an eight-month investigation into Petland Inc., the country's largest chain of puppy-selling pet stores. The results showed that many Petland stores across the country are supporting an abusive puppy mill industry, even while telling unsuspecting customers that the dogs only come from reputable breeders.  Founded in 1967 and headquartered in Chillicothe, Ohio, Petland, Inc. currently has 140 stores in the United States and 63 in foreign markets. 

 

In response to findings revealed during The HSUS's recent investigation, and in support of Companion Animal Protection Society's (CAPS) 2008 North American Protest against pet stores that sell puppy mill dogs, Columbus Top Dogs will be hosting a peaceful rally on Saturday, December 20, 2008 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM near the entrance to Petland stores located in Hilliard, OH and Lewis Center, OH.
