Why We Do What We Do

For all of those that wonder why we do what we do:

Murphy

I received a call yesterday morning from a very distraught woman who had purchased a Bulldog puppy for almost $3000 at Petland in Crystal Lake, Il. She was able to get “credit” to buy this…dog from a credit company right down the street. She has two children and another dog and did not know about puppy mills until now. The now was when the puppy that they all fell head over heals in love with for only a short two weeks, died of pneumonia. The vet that checked him(Petland’s vet) said he was fine. Petland said “Sometimes that happens, he did not get sick here”. I won’t go into the rest of the details but he went to a second vet who confirmed the pneumonia diagnosis.

The “breeder” Rosemary Woods of Missouri, is the “reputable” breeder Petland told her the puppy came from. We all know the truth here. She is a USDA approved breeder with hundreds of dogs on her property.
Yesterday afternoon they buried that little guy in the yard. His name was Murphy. Another family who had to explain to their little children what happened to their new puppy.Another family with huge vet bills and credit card bills that will last longer than Murphy’s life. Every day over and over this scene is played out across this country. Textbook case. What did Murphy ever do to deserve this? What about his mother in Rosemary Wood’s mill ? She’s still churning out more puppies until she dies. What did this loving family ever do to suffer like this?

 

This is animal cruelty in it’s largest form.  Thousands of dogs suffering and dying every day at the hands of greedy, cruel monsters.  Please help us raise awareness and stop the cruel world of puppy mills. Do it for Murphy.
