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.

The sooner you educate people about the ramifications of the trade in living sentient beings, the better. And - besides - mutts are cool!

Great idea. Most teens do not know the dangers of puppy mills and get caught up in the cuteness at pet stores. You should educate the youth and get them interested so they adopt shelter pets for life and hopefully volunteer to help animals when they're old enough.

Please tell everyone you know about the cruel practice of puppy mills. People must be educated, because without knowledge we cannot be the voice these animals need. We have the power to save or destroy. Only humans can help the animals - more often than not they cannot help themselves. We are all they have.

Puppy mills need to be closed down for good. There is no excuse for the neglect, abuse and cruel treatment of these dogs.
