Whether it will help or not, I will certainly sign the petition... I would love to see the puppy mill chain broken on any (or every) link possible.
As the owner of a brood bitch rescued from her puppy mill 'home', I am continually amazed at the physical and emotional toll that environment placed on our Wendy. For example, we had her weeks before she wagged... 4 months before she would accept food from the table, 9 months before she gave a kiss, 11 months before she would enter a 'dead end' room such as a bedroom or bathroom. She remains incontinent from overbreeding despite surgery, proin, estrogen, and herbal remedies and she is barkless because her vocal cords were severed.
Our vet tells far worse stories of rescued mill dogs. Sadly, these are the 'lucky' dogs that survived... many don't.
Whatever it takes!
