    I remember several PT members went to a protest of a pet store in
    Mass. that was a local outlet for puppy mill dogs. I really think these
    protests serve to inform those who haven't learned of the horrors of
    a puppy mill.

    Actually, petland in my area said in the paper "the protesters brought in more business than ever". They thanked the protesters for attracting people and getting them to stop.
    "There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion."

    I heard about a good book to read. It's called "A Rare Breed Of Love".
    It's the story of a sweet three legged dog that finally got out of the puppy mill life. Her name is Baby.

    That's not how it worked with our protests of Rufus and Co. They closed the store, and the chain. We protested outside the shopping mall, which was as close as we were allowed to get.
