Yup, here is another one of my infamous letters fighting cruelty to canines. I can't help it. This one is to someone on About.com who write for the AboutDogs section. She provides so much info to inform people about what is best for their dogs and meanwhile there will be an ad for puppies online or whatever beneath the article. Today I was reading an article on the site about the Lancaster puppy mills (yeah...the religious Amish are responsible for the abuse and genetic degradation of god's creatures....now ask me why I am no longer christian?). Right beneath the article is an ad for puppies on LiveDeal.com...a site that has ignored many of my emails regarding the mass market of unscreened puppy sales. If just one of my emails could change any aspect I would be greatful and finally feel accomplished....until them....I type like an insane dog lady activist...so be it. LOL

I love the articles you have on your site, especially the ones regarding puppy mills. As a trainer I have seen many pet store dogs with issues and I have had to explain to their owners why their dogs have such issues. Sometimes they are angry at me, sometimes at the pet store, sometimes they just insist that their dog is AKC registered (we know that makes no difference) I do have a bit of a grievance regarding your articles on About.com and I don't know if you have the power to do anything about it.
I was reading the article about puppy mills and right beneath your article is an ad for puppies on livedeal.com. I don't know if you have ever been on livedeal.com but essentially it is backyard breeders and mills selling puppies. Some are occasionally 'free to a good home' which is just as bad because laboratories and dog fighters in need of bait dogs can easily obtain these poor puppies for abusive purposes. Again, I don't know if you have any say in what ads are put beneath your articles but I think you should know they are contradictory to the good work you are trying to accomplish.
Thank you for your time,
