Hi Liz, Your idea of picketing, or as I prefer handing out information sheets, is an excellent one! Several years ago I stood outside Russo's Pets in the fashion Island Mall in Newport Beach, CA (known for selling Cavaliers) and distributed literature on the Pet Store - Puppy mill connection to folks. I will say it was difficult to find any one brave enough to accompany me. However, Michael Allen who owns "The Royal Spaniels" magazine, was good enough to step forward and accompany me and do a little write up in her lovely publication. I do believe that this was an effective measure but it must, as you say , be done on a regular basis. I believe that informing the public is key --and the ONLY effective tool we have -- to discourage pet stores from carrying dogs of any breed -- we must be cognizant that it is not only Cavaliers that suffer!
All the best, Susan V. [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Question. Doesn't anyone picket pet stores that sell live animals anymore? >I >used to do that every weekend.
