The Cruelty Behind the Cuteness
The Humane Society of the United States - Non-Profit - www.humanesociety.org
Free Range can help reduce suffering and create meaningful social change for animals by creating a movie to educate youth (target age range 13-18) about the inherent cruelty in mass dog breeding operations commonly known as puppy mills. Millions of puppies are born in shockingly poor conditions each year, many with behavior and/or health problems. Many people don't realize they're supporting this cruelty when they purchase a puppy in a pet store, over the Internet, or through a classified ad. By raising awareness, we can help stop a cycle of cruelty that contributes to pet overpopulation and the suffering of countless dogs.

End puppy mill abuse!

Ending puppy mill abuse will end the suffering, and put a big dent in the overpopulation of unwanted animals. I've always believed if pets were harder to come by, the would be more valued. Lets help kids be the generation that gets it.

The earlier we can educate our fellow humans about this, the better. Vote, share and help the animals.

I support HSUS and they are doing great work to help animals who cannot speak for themselves. They suffer in silence because in the case of puppy mills people are selfish and greedy and cannot see the suffering they inflict in the name of the almighty dollar. The animals who end up at the mall pet shop the kids have no idea what the mother of that animal goes through in a small wire cage with no vet care in horror show conditions.

I Love this idea. It won't be an easy topic but young people appreciate not be treated like they are stupid. We need to educate young people to be sensitive to cruelty of animals since it has a direct correlation with how they treat people.

It is beyond my comprehension that anyone who chooses to work with animals, breeding dogs to sell, could be so heartless and cruel to them. We have had only rescued dogs for the 38 years of our marriage and our children have done the same. Our latest little addition was found stray, lactating heavily. The shelter people took her back out to see if they could find her puppies but couldn't. She was extremely thin, had every kind of parasite except heart worms (thank God) and was covered in fleas. She is the sweetest little girl and has been a fantastic playmate for her sister shelter adoptee. I wish they could talk.... I would find the monsters who failed them and find a way to keep them from ever having a dog in their care again. If everyone could just understand what goes on behind the scenes the vultures who make money on God's creatures would not be able to stay in business.
