First off I am an animal LOVER! I absolutely adore them. I couldn’t imagine harming my Chihuahua-Maltese Tiny Rose. She’s like my child. Therefore, the opening of this piece describing one of the neglected dogs in a cage hit me. It had me sick to my stomach. How can people be so careless and selfish? Isn’t there a law about hoarding animals, because it seems to me like there are an excessive amount of animals in those mill?. This piece already has me seeing red. When I first heard it I was taken by surprise. Ariel sounded so professional that I even forgot I was listening to a youth’s piece. She spoke eloquently, with professionalism. I felt like I was listening to a broadcaster on WHYY’s National Public Radio. Her interview with Stephanie Jobe, board member from the Petite Paws Rescue branch in Indiana, gave the piece hard hitting facts to support the their anti-puppy mill premise. Jobe distinguished the difference between a respectable breeder and an irresponsible puppy mill. I use irresponsible because they: confide animals in cages for practically their whole life, ignorantly preform surgical procedures without precautions, and inhumanely dispose of them when they no longer have a use for them. Hopefully, the ASPCA, or another organization will one day formulate some sort of specific/strict regulations that outline how the owners are to care for the animals. We have to be the defenseless animals voice and do what’s right!
Anti-Puppy Mill !
