People Magazine article

[wheezie23]

People Magazine this week has an article showcasing teen entrepaneurs called "Teen Titans". In it, one boy is running a website called cuddlypuppy.com where he sells purebred and mixed breed dogs for an exorbitant price. The puppies are housed at his home in cages. This is nothing more than a high tech puppy mill organization in my opinion and he is the broker. There is an online petition that will be going to People Magazine asking them to do a follow up article about the true horrors of puppy mills. Please consider signing it, or write a letter to the editor.

Thela,

I also read that article and was appalled by it. I have signed the petition. Thanks so much for putting on this site!

Thela, I signed as well and forwarded to the people in my address book asking them to sign as well. It just makes me sick!

I don't get People Magazine but I did sign/forward the petition. How sad to endorse such a horrible business.

I signed it too. My heart goes out to those poor dogs being overbred for profit. I look at my cairn girls and the life they live and wish every pup could have it so good. The best way to stop these puppymills is to educate people and get them to stop buying puppies from them.

I signed the petition too. How sad that People Magazine is writing about how this teen is making money off of these poor animals! I can't believe that his MOTHER is helping him with this. I wish everyone would stop buying puppies from puppy mills so we can put them out of business!

I signed it as well. They are almost to their goal of 10,000 signatures!

I also signed the petition. Whenever I read about these puppy mills, it makes my heart very sad. It is truly animal cruely at its worst. Thanks for posting the site for us to sign.

The initial goal yesterday was for 5000 signatures. It's wonderful to see such a huge response to this. Hopefully People Magazine will take heed and realize that behind each of those signatures is a possible subscriber and do the right thing.

I was surprised and pleasantly pleased that People published several letters to their editor in this weeks edition regarding the boy and his internet puppy sales. I think the actually placed five or six letters about it in there.

pat.

I saw that yesterday, too. I've been checking People Magazine to see if they would. Now they need to do an article about rescue groups and people who volunteer their time to save these poor animals, but I doubt they will.
