If you can't watch Friday's Oprah episode, please record it. Oprah and Lisa Ling will be bringing puppy mills out into the light. This is must see TV.

Maybe You can tell Me about the show after it airs. My TV sets have automatic Oprah blockers on them which I ordered special from Best Buy.
Keep Us posted.

Do you know if they sell those blockers for Monday night football and basketball games during March? Wink

I, too cannot bring myself to watch it. I know enough and it sickens me...I can't bear to watch it, too. The one good thing about Oprah doing a show about this is that maybe something significant will be done about it and laws can be changed--FINALLY! She sure does get everyone's attention!

they didn't have A LOT of footage from the actual puppy mills but what they showed was pretty bad... what got me was when they showed how in shelters they have to pick out which ones have to be put to sleep. most of the time, there wasn't anything wrong with the dogs, just not enough space. that was sad.

I just could not watch it all. I do know that when I flipped though it they were showing a vet spaying a dog. Spay and Neuter is the way to go to avoid the overcrowding and the tragic and senseless deaths of the dogs that did have to be put down. I am glad that I got Maddie who is a "rescue and a purebreed". Purebreeds are what people seems to be looking for, they forget about the humane societys and pounds when lookings for a dog, most want puppies. I really could care less about a purebreed. A dog that has a 2nd chance will know that they are getting a second chance. I adopted a grey because of my friend Brian and his grey Roxie. I then did all my research and reading on greys and felt that this was the best breed for me.

Oprah even mentioned that 3 of her staff adopted 3 of the dogs and gave up looking for puppies and adopted these 3 dogs instead.

Just my 2 cents.
