Sign a Petition to STOP Puppy Mills in Canada!

A friend of mine brought this to my attention, and I just signed the petition myself.

Most of you have probably read about how I feel about puppy mills so I feel it’s extremely important to bring stronger laws into effect to stop the needless suffering of do many dogs.

From the petition site:

You can help stop this suffering. Please sign our pledge to stop puppy mills!

I will do my part to help stop puppy mills. I pledge to help end this cycle of cruelty by:
- Choosing not to buy my next pet from a pet store or Internet site
- Refusing to buy supplies from any pet store or Internet site that sells puppies
- Supporting stronger federal and provincial laws to stop puppy mills from operating in Canada
