Here's my email to Don Imus. I'm also a fan of his show. He really does do great humanitarian things.
Hello Mr. Imus,
First I would like to compliment you on a great show. I listen to on my way to school every morning and it gets me motivated to teach that day.
I am writing to you at the request of Hearts United Dog rescue in Nebraska. One of their major goals (and the goal of many dog lovers like my husband and me who have 15 rescue dogs) of the Rescue is to wipe out the horrible practice of running puppy mills. I know that you and Deadra are animals people and would never try to hurt and animal. For that reason, I am asking that if you have any control over the advertising on your show, that you request the ad for Lancaster County, PA be pulled. Lancaster County has the highest concentration of puppy mills in the entire country. If you have never read about puppy mills, please visit some of the websites dedicated to eradicating these death camps for dogs. One well known site is www.prisonersofgreed.org . The site is disturbing, but enlightening. No living thing should have to endure what these dogs do every day. They don't ever get to touch the ground, they are bred until they die, and never have any human contact.
I know what an influential person you are and I'm asking that you use a little piece of that influence to help these poor animals and help destroy this evil practice. You and Fred and Deadra and the rest of your family do such great humanitarian work. Please continue your great work. What you've done at the ranch is so wonderful. Again, I am requesting that you pull the ad for visiting Lancaster County, PA and make mention of the horrors of puppy mills on your show.
Thank you for taking the time to read my request and thanks for a great morning show!!
