It's especially upsetting when we learn that our governmnet loans the biggest puppy broker in the country (Hunte Corporation) money to sell dogs in retail stores and that he is also being wined and dined by the AKC. Between that, our too weak Animal Welfare Act, not enough inspectors to do field visits, and still not enough awareness by the general public about the pet shop/puppy mill connection, we really need a big name like Oprah to bring attention to the issue.
I know Terry (Missy) wrote most of the news shows about a year ago trying to get them to do a story with no luck. I think Jodi tried to contact Ellen, a big animal lover, about a story, too, but she never reported back on it.
