This petition was published by stephanie on Sep 09, 2009

Please support this bill, here's our story..
A small place where dogs run free in our home, and the puppies can play, interact with each other, the right way and run free. When unsuspecting Americans buy puppies from people like this, they like myself, feel its the happy loving countrysides they come from.

But the actual truth is, that's what we tell ourselves because we do not want to face, what the truth may actually be. I do feel that this was made part buy us americans. Who wanted to be like Hollywood, with teacup puppies and designer dogs. People say its about pet stores but it isn't, lets get the problem at the source, the mills themselves. So lets now step up to the plate and help these poor innocent puppies, who know nothing other than living in a cage. Just like at the Hurlimans, their are many other breeders who register their dogs with the ACA, because they do not belong to the AKC, because their puppies do not follow the breed standard.

Our moms..
Our moms where white, and black and golden, our moms carried us, and gave birth to us. They tried to protect us, give us milk, and all we needed to grow big and strong. We never got to do that, or bond with our moms.Insted, we got shipped all over the United States. Seperated from our brothers and sisters. All to go sit in a cage to be bought, by people who love us so unconditionally. Our puppy moms are still there, being used to make money for humans. Humans who are greedy and don't love us. They just love the sound of money that we make for them. So sign this petition to regulate puppymills. Help save our moms.

Thank you from Ramsey & Bambi Woods. Bambi is sad to say that his brother Ramsey, a teacup yorkie, is no longer with us. He died at 9 weeks of a severe infection that was over looked by the Hurlimans. The same fate, I almost suffered, except I was a older than Ramsey. I have many hereditary problems with my digestive track, my legs and my throat. So what I want today is to save our moms, and let them know what it means to have a forever home, and not being overbred in a cage.

The same is happening all over Oklahoma, Missouri, Arizonia, and Pennsylvania. It's not even about petshops. We need to shutdown the source of the problem, these mills. It's sad to think that the puppies that make it to a petshop alive will live. Who knows what is happening to the other dogs in these mills.

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

Shortly after I joined MDS, I met Stephanie (BAMBIWOODS) on the forums. She had just purchased a little Chihuahua named BAMBI from her local pet store - Puppy Paradise. Of course she was sold a bill of goods that this littly guy was raised with great love and care by the fine folks at Hurliman Kennels. I'm sure that she was feed images of loving humans frolicking with mom and her pups in fields of clover.

No surprise, what she got was a very sick little dog that was breed in a factory puppy mill in Oklahoma. Thankfully, Stephanie was a very good doggie mom and did everything possible to help poor little Bambi survive. And he has.

I got to know Stephanie quite well, we became good MDS friends, and together we did some research on the evil demons at Hurliman Kennels. They had hundreds of puppies of dozens of different breeds for sale, many at auctions. Not exactly the loving breeder of Chihuahua pups in fields of clover.

Fast forward to last week, during CODIE JOE's "Going Home" pawty.

During the pawty, I was contacted by a new MDS member Tammy (lovebear405). She had purchased a puppy, Ramsey, from - you guessed it - Hurliman Kennels. They didn't even let her come to their facility to look over the dogs - they met her in a gas station parking lot! Yeah, a lot of quality dogs from legitimate breeders are sold in gas station parking lots.

Little Ramsey suffered many of the same problems as BAMBI had worked through. Unfortunately, Ramsey did not have a good outcome. After 7 days and tons of vet bills, Ramsey had to be put down. And poor Tammy had to explain to her children why their beloved puppy was no more.

These intrepid ladies didn't just shed tears though. They are fighting back! Stephanie has a petition on-line here to take the fight to the next level. Tammy even got the local TV station to take up the call. They have the story and an amazing video posted here.

You can hear the story in their own words, as both Tammy and Stephanie are featured. And you can see the puppy factory that is Hurliman Kennels for yourself.

Please check out the story and take the time to sign the petition.

And just for the record, save your comments about me hating on Tammy & Stephanie. I have become friends with both of them - and they will both tell you that they wish they knew then what they know now.

If you buy a puppy from a pet store, an on-line add, a newspaper ad, etc. the odds of that puppy being the product of an evil puppy mill are so close to 100% that they might as well be. Please help educate every potential dog owner that you know about the evils of puppy mills. The local animal shelters are overflowing with dogs that will most likely be put to sleep soon for lack of space. There are breed specific rescues for EVERY breed that will match you with a wonderful dog that desperately needs you.

Bottom line - there is NO good reason for supporting puppy mills. And while I certainly applaud any and all attempts to legislate these evil enterprises out of existence; I firmly believe that the only way to bring an end to this evil is to educate ALL potential dog purchasers. So yes, sign the petition. Do whatever you can on any and every front that you can. But also, PLEASE, I'm begging you, educate everybody you know.

DON'T SHOP - ADOPT

Sorry for being so long winded - but I am obviously passionate about this topic. Check out BOO's story to see why I get this way.
