Petition Petland to Stop Selling Puppy Mill Dogs!

Today across the nation, passionate animal lovers demonstrated at their local Petland pet stores, against the retailer's continued sale of puppy mill inventory. The Humane Society of the US conducted an 8 month long investigation of Petland, which is currently the nation’s largest retail supporter of puppy mills.

YOU can do something about this too! Here are five simple things you can do to make a difference - help stop this extensive abuse and exploitation of dogs that takes advantage of people's love for cute animals:
  1. Visit http://stoppuppymills.org/ to watch the HSUS video of the Petland investigation, and pledge your support to help end this cycle of cruelty.
  2. Vote with your wallet! Never buy a pet from a pet store or Internet site, instead consider saving a life by adopting from your local shelter. Also, refuse to buy supplies from any pet store or Internet site that sells puppies - these commercial enterprises only understand one thing: the power of the almighty dollar - so hurt them where it counts by witholding your business.
  3. Sign this petition to show Petland how many people are passionate about them pulling out of the puppy mill business.
  4. If you're on Facebook, join the cause to stop puppy mills, and add the cause to your profile page.
  5. Educate your friends and family about puppy mills and encourage them to adopt a shelter or breed-rescue animal instead of buying from a pet store or internet site.

Everybody can do something - please do your bit for the puppies!
