I signed. I'm ashamed that People Magazine would promote this industry. People really need to be educated on this issue. This is what I said in the petition:

It's because of people and "businesses" like this that cause the problems we face today. Shame on People Magazine for promoting this horrible industry. I've worked in a veterinary office and have seen first hand the results of puppy mills. It's sickening and there needs to be greater punishment for people who run them. People need to be educated on this serious issue, and if they MUST have a purebred dog...save a life and adopt a rescue!!! Never buy from the Internet, Broker or Pet Store!

I signed. What total idiots that mom and her son are!!:mad:

[dukedogsmom]

I didn't sign it, I went straight to the problem. I sent an email to the one listed on the site and then to another one listed on the host's site, I think it's the father. Here is what I sent:

I am appalled and saddened that you're teaching your son that this is the way to make money. Being a back yard breeder/puppy mill is in no way responsible and is teaching your son wrong. Hundreds of homeless animals are put to death every month and you/your son are contributing to this. If you don't believe me, just check out this website: http://justonelitter.com/litter.html And, check out www.petfinder.com Plenty of homeless animals there. As of right now, there are 164,660 homeless animals available. Those animals are being done a great injustice by contributing to the already huge problem. Please educate your son to spay/neuter and at least go through rescue groups if he or someone he knows wants some type of pure bred.

My gosh...
Signed... I went to hos site and it said they had miniture rotties on the way is there even such thing??

[shutterbug0303]

Signed...and good questions about the rotties...?!?!?! Thanks to Dukedogsmom for sending a direct email. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to do the same thing. The more emails directly to them, the more they will be willing to listen.

I doubt it, just another way for him to make some more money.
Disgusting.

I signed the petition, would also like to email whoever Val did, and am sending a snail mail letter to People magazine as well.

I went to their website (Cuddlypuppy) and they mention on the bottom to go to petfinder.com and consider adopting and that they use breeders that breed for quality not quantity. I also went to people mag. site and their Nov. 8 magazine isn't out yet and it would not bring up the article, therefore It's not available. I would be more than happy to sign on this because I am all for adopting from rescues before breeders, but I also like to read it for my self then to jump to conclusions, rather than to take someone's word for it That I don't even know. Did the author of this petition somehow get the inside scoop on this article? Just curious.

Zaylagrey,

I believe that they sell mags before the given date. That's the way it always is with my mags (Money, Time, and DogFancy). Also, I believe it has come out already because a member on another board posted about this atrocity before she even knew about the petition. Another member soon gave us a link, and *then* the original poster signed. One thing that makes me wonder is that cuddlypuppy is VERY similar to a certain Wizard of Claws.....hmmm....

[Giselle]

Oh, right and I can't find the "Miniature Rottweilers", but one person said that it's supposed to be a mix between a Miniature Pinscher and a Pekingese. Which is, needless to say, stupid in every aspect considering Pekingeses have long fur and are built rectangularly with dropped heart-shaped ears. Now, tell me how that and a Min Pin will produce a Rott-looking dog:mad: ? I personally thought it should have been a Pug if you were aiming for a Rott-looking dog in the first place...Btw, I was told that they couldn't even spell Pekingese correctly...*sigh*

Thank you everyone :)

In one of the other forums, someone posted a link to a puppymill board!!! Well, as I was clicking around....look what I found...:ekk:


"I'm bing harassed..."

I was recently featured in people magazine and now i'm being harrased. Any ideas on what to do to stop this.
Message boards calling me bad things, people writing letters saying I should be shot , etc.

thanks

Heres the blurb I found about them it is on the Puggle page:

"We are accepting deposits on a new litter of Miniature Rotties. These puppies will be Black/ Tan this time but will have the same figure as the puppy listed. Tail cropped. Will be 7-10lbs full grown."

Ok I went to that link for Tim's post. I could pretty much puke now. There is so much cruelty in this world it is all I can do not to just cry right now. I am getting too exhausted to get angry anymore. I truly am starting to despair for this world and the human race. So much greed...so much avarice...so much cruelty and lack of compassion. I just can't understand:( :( :( :(
