The Puppy Mill Project
Newsletter 2010
Dear Supporters,
As we get ready to welcome in 2011 I cannot help but reflect upon the accomplishments of the past year. In the short time that we have been in existence our resume is very impressive. From our weekly pet store protests, resulting in store closings, to our support of HB5772 and it's passage, to the forming of a National Puppy Mill Project, this has been quite a year.
As you all know, the more involved we get in the mission to end puppy mills the more we realize the depth and scope of this national disgrace. There is so much more to do but with your continued support and dedication we will get it done. None of this can possibly get done without you. To each one of you that has protested, made phone calls, emailed our legislators, made a donation, or helped rescue our mill dogs, thank you. You are the heart and soul of this organization and your continued commitment to this cause will change the lives of millions of dogs.
Sincerely,
Cari Meyers
First of it's kind in the nation!Legislation
The Puppy Mill Project supports state and federal legislation that protects dogs from the inhumane treatment they receive in puppy mills.
Illinois's new Pet Store Disclosure law will take effect on Jan 1, 2011. Pet stores will be required to post breeder information on or near the cages of the puppies they are selling. Until now, pet stores were not required to tell the truth about the origin of their puppies. Families have been sold sick puppies and endured high vet bills and heartbreak. Consumers will now be able to do their homework and research the breeder of the puppy they are interested in buying. Once the public learns the truth, we know they will not support this cruel industry.

The public is getting the message. No longer are our local pet stores selling puppies because the demand for them is not there.
When the market dries up, even the illegal operations will have to close.
Excellent idea to require breeder information to be posted at the point of sale. Buyers can do their research.
Have a great Christmas. You are doing such great work.
