I really hope that the message gets out to everyone who is looking for a dog-don't go to puppy stores/puppy mills. Go to your local shelter/breed rescue or a certified breeder. Stop the dog abuse NOW.

I think if we all fight to stop puppy mills and pet shops, Then we could put a stop to it. we have to stand together. I am sick of reading or seeing the news tell of 100 plus animals going to a shelter because of a breeder. These poor animals have to live in cages with no love.

This is a great idea. Puppy mills need to be shut down. Did they do this in 2008? This should be done every year from now on and get it out nationwide.

What a great idea - wonder if they did it in 2008 or if there is something in the works for 2009. Anyone heard an update?

We wouldn't need a day if they just shut them down. The public has to help by not soliciting these places.

The HSUS is an amazing organization! They are ever growing and focusing. Their law dept. is tops! They have worked diligently investigating, publicize, and bring down so many puppy mills. Reform too!

TY HSUS!

It is frustrating that some people still buy from places like this. So many shelters have great dogs.

Although this is 4 months old, I agree with the idea. Don't buy from a pet store. Get your pet at the shelter.

This is the best solution to the problem. There is no need to buy an expensive dog from the pet shop when so many wonderful pets are available at the shelters. Great story.

I would think most people should know by now how horrible these mills are-i would not buy a pet from a store because of this. the public needs to be reminded not just at holidays but year round. there are enough animals at shelters who need good homes.

Pet shelters are the way to get your pets. Unless you are going to show your dog, and how many people who have dogs really do that, why on earth would you buy one? There are plenty in shelters all over the country. Looking for a particular breed? You will find one at a shelter somewhere.

Puppy mills just need to be eliminated. There has to be a way if enough people worked to accomplish this. The animals are kept in horrible conditions, killed if they don't have enough puppies, and any seen defect is rejected because the pet stores won't accept them not to mention the high number of unseen birth defects found after the puppy is adopted out. Shut them down.

For real, get your animals at a shelter or rescue group if looking for a certain breed. Plenty of animals out there looking for a home.

I agree I don't like pets being sold at petstores, but if you think about it what will happen to all these pups if someone doesn't buy them. What needs to happen first is to make it illegal to even sell them at stores, then go from there.

Humana societies and shelters are some of the best places to get pets. All my pets have come from the humana society. They are some of the most loving creatures.
