It's not often i toot my horn on a controversial matter, but i saw this picture of our President-Elect and was moved by the blurb i read with the picture. I then clicked a link and was led to 'Baby's' story. This is a topic I've been relatively silent about for years, but have had a very strong opinion about. Puppy mills are a total travesty and a disgusting testament to the treatment of innocent animals. I would never ever buy a dog from a pet store (on this, i CAN say "NEVER!"), and I would like for you to read Baby's story as well. Mr. Obama has publicly announced his desire to save a dog from a shelter and to make it the
First Dog for his daughters. He is also the first president[-elect] to be supported by the Humane Society.
Click on Mr. Obama's picture please.
The below photo shows Obama with "Baby," a three-legged dog that lost its fourth limb following years of mistreatment at a California puppy mill. The toy poodle spent much of its life locked in a small wire cage. The breeders cut out Baby's vocal chords so that they would not have to hear her cries. In cages next to her, other dogs literally went insane, spinning repetitively with blank stares. Still others were gravely ill, maimed and had filthy, matted coats. A number was tattooed on the inside of Baby's ear, marking her as just one of many dogs at the mill.
