The Show, “Animal Connection”…. Who Knew it Would Come to This?

[Punum]

Can anyone explain why the USDA will NOT step in and help the dogs and puppies in the mills? There has been so much evidence of mills abusing and neglecting these animals. Many of these animals are dying horrible deaths. Most people have heard about these atrocities. The flip side, they go into a pet store to buy something for their animal. When they are there they see the poor puppy eyes looking at them. At that very moment they feel they need to buy this puppy and give it a good home. They forget where the puppy came
from. It is a vicious cycle. I like what they have done in West Hollywood California. The stores only sell puppies that come from shelters or rescues.

This past week there was a report about the USDA failing to cut down on puppy mills. They detail the horrific conditions and lax enforcement. If you would like to read this article, click here.

There was also a show on Animal Planet that exposed Petland puppies. Since the airing of that show they have had so many people coming forward telling them stories about the health issues, and medical challenges, their puppies have had.

In addition, the cost to care for these animals. So many stories were sent in describing what it has been like for the owners of these puppies since they purchased their new family member. The stories include Bailey, a Cairn terrier (pictured here), who became deathly ill and had to be hospitalized after she was purchased in Texas, and Little Red, who reportedly had the worst hip dysplasia her veterinarian had ever seen.

On the positive side, hopefully this show will get people to do more research on the stores and breeders of puppies. Even people in your community might have a small mill going and you don’t even know it.

Over the past few weeks I have had so many conversations regarding our world and where we are headed. I have always said, “Humans are blessed with an exceptional brain. We have made wonderful advances in
technology, medicine, etc. At the same time, we also seem to use it to destroy the world and harm innocent animals. Right now we are harming and destroying at the same time (oil drilling, polluting the waters and
killing all kinds of fish and wildlife).

I came up with the name of my show, “Animal Connection” because I know animals and humans are connected. I never realized the timing of my show would be so perfect with the events going on in our society, in such an extreme way. One major issue, once we destroy this earth that’s it. No matter how much
money anyone has, we can’t replace it!

The animals were here long before we were. We should respect them and not use them for profit. Someone said to me, “We should go back to the times of Little House on the Prairie”. I’m starting to believe that’s not such a bad idea, although it was a very hard life!

I don’t know what the answer is. We don’t seem to be able to get along and respect other humans (look at the wars). How do we expect people to respect animals?
