We don't usually watch TV but for those who haven't yet heard, this Friday's hour-long Oprah show - April 4th - is scheduled to be devoted to puppy mills, and related topics, such as adoptions, euthanasia, and spay and neuter. Check your local TV listings for the time and channel.
Yes, Oprah Winfrey will do a tear-jerker, so have a box of tissues handy.
If you are interested in reading more on this subject, we refer you to the April 2 post on Wayne Pacelle's blog, A Humane Nation.
Since Oprah Winfrey is so popular and viewed by millions, perhaps this subject will get enough exposure to prompt more people to incite legislation to stop or at least stunt the proliferation and horrors of puppy mills.

Mom told us she is setting the DVR for Oprah on Friday!

Jan,
ReplyDeleteI read about this in the mews and I agree. I fink that Oprah will bring lots of good attention to this matter. I am glad that she is doing this special, it is much needed!
Puppy mills are evil. That's good that Oprah can bring it up and front to the public eye. Hopefully that will make people think twice from buying pets at those shady places. Hopefully she will tell her viewers to adopt from shelters!
ReplyDeleteThis is very important subject!!
ReplyDeleteIt is great that Oprah is doing a show on such an important issue!
ReplyDeleteI heard about that show and we are going to try and record it on Tivo. I think it will be very hard to watch, but it is an important topic for people to be aware of.
ReplyDeleteMom says she doesn't think she can make herself watch it, too sad. it's bad enough just knowing that sort of thing happens. We sure hope lots of good will come from it!
ReplyDeleteThat is furry good that Oprah is gettin the wurd out on these furry impawtant topics.

ReplyDeleteYes, that will be an absolute tear jerker. We saw a few previews of it today. Some people are total wackjobs.

I'm so glad Oprah is bringing exposure to this issue. I was at a dog park meeting last night, and a woman who recently moved here from Chicago said that Oprah used to go to their dog park every day and was famous for picking up errant poop--whether it was from her dog or not. It's heartening to see celebrities get real.
ReplyDeleteMom tried to watch some of it...she keeps crying.

ReplyDeleteb safe,

We watched it with Mom and we all thought she did a great job. We believe this will help tremendously. The general public needs to be educated. It's a much needed strategy in order to win the battle.
