pawprint bullet point

We are a dedicated group of animal lovers that educate the public on the topic of puppy mills and the pet store connection. We are a very active group that plans many events and demonstrations at local pet stores throughout the Milwaukee and surrounding areas that sell puppies and companion animals. We pass out literature and demonstrate at places like PuppyWorld, PetLand, and other retail chains that use Puppy Mills and "Private Breeders" AKA "backyard breeders" to sell to the unsuspecting public.
We promote adoption through local shelters, rescues, and humane societies. We collect information on consumer complaints and USDA inspections of breeder facilities selling to these pet stores. We are dedicated to ending the suffering of the dogs in the mills spending their entire lives breeding heat after heat with little or no veterinary care.
These animals suffer endlessly for the greed of human profit and we would like to see this end. We welcome anyone who cares about the well-being of these animals to join our group. We would like to invite any new members that are located in WISCONSIN to help with our efforts.


PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT MY GIVE BACK PROGRAM, WHERE I MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO AN ANIMAL SHELTER IN YOUR NAME UPON CLOSING!!! ALSO, CONTACT ME FOR INFORMATION ON MY REFERRAL PROGRAM TOO!

Definitely a disturbing picture that hopefully will get more people involved in stopping this "for profit" practice.


Good job letting the public know about this tragedy Kristin.

Kristin - A very disturbing photo. Good luck with your protest.

Kristin, I'm speechless.  Actually I know what I want to say, but I'm going to bite my lip.

Thanks Craig...I HATE the photo too, but thought it might be powerful too!

Thanks John....it is disturbing that this is going on across the country at so many puppy mills but pet stores too!

Tony, I am sure I would say (and have said) the same exact thing!!!!!!!!!

Hi Kristin:


I can't take it!


When I'm done with real estate, this will be my next career...I promise!

Toula...I sooo want to do that too!!

So sad .. now I need to go pet my animals!

It has the same affect on me :-)

Hi Kristen-This is such a heartbreaking sight to see. I just can't fathom doing something so cruel and inhumane to defenseless babies. People that do this should be hung and whipped and that is mild punishment. I hope you have had a great day. I hope your march on Sat is a productive one.

Thanks Sharon....I agree with you...it just breaks my heart and I am often so ashamed of the world we live in.....take care!

this is disturbing


Scott

Yes it is Scott..yes it is....

Good work Kristin, keep it up.  I can't imagine buying a pet... I always go to the local shelter or rescue organization.  Such a sad world sometimes.


Thanks Chris....I appreciate the kind words....keep spreading the news...

Kristin... I just broke down and cried.  Don't think I should have opened this email.  Don't think enough time has gone by for me since I had to put Rusty down.  Sorry.

Valerie, I am sorry to make you cry...I do alot of that being involved in this stuff, I know it is hard.  Take care my friend!

Hello Kristin,


Very heartbreaking photo, it's all so awful! I also am so often ashamed of the world we live in and what many people do for money. Hoping your protest on Saturday is a very productive one.


Rita


 

Thanks so much Rita....I appreciate the support!

Kristin,you go girlfriend! When I did humane work I occassionally saw the inside of the cooler at our shelter.  The sight and smell is indescribable.  Right now our county is going through the process of becoming "no kill."  Its about time!  Please post an after blog of the protest.

Terry, That is GREAT about your county becoming NO KILL!!! I sure wish mine was!!! You do such great things, keep it up!

( 04/25/09 08:20AM ) —

Kristin, I used to do great things.  YOU are the one in the trenches now!

Terry, you are sily....YOU CONTINUE TO IMPACT MANY LIVES!!!!

While real estate is my vocation, the ethical treatment of animals is my avocation. Thank you for getting your message out....

I am the SAME way CHeryl....thanks for the comment!
