Dear Friends of Hearts United for Animals, Two weeks ago Tom Bauerle, a radio personality in New York State announced on his show that he was thinking about where to go on vacation. He mentioned Lancaster County Pennsylvania as a possible choice. Jim Weibel, an HUA supporter and adopter, immediately emailed him and told him about all the puppymills in Lancaster County. Jim also sent him an HUA puppymill brochure. Within days Tom Bauerle announced on his show that he would definitely NOT visit Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He talked about puppymills and said he would not visit any location where there was so much cruelty! Tom Bauerle is the dean of talk radio in Western New York and for two consecutive years has been named one of the top 100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts in America. Jim Weibel exemplified what a difference each of us can make if we take a stand and speak up. Consider for a moment how many people are involved in the pet breeding industry (not counting quality breeders) - if you count the breeders, the brokers, and the petstores that sell puppies there are certainly significantly less than 500 thousand people who support the industry. On the other hand, if you count the people who love dogs, there are well over 40 million homes with dogs. If you add people who love cats to that count, there are 73 million homes with pets. And if there is an average of 3 people per household that's over 210 million people. In addition there are innumerable people who do not have pets for a variety of reasons but who still find puppymills deplorable. If people who love animals and believe that dogs should not be imprisoned and bred to death, join together and raise their voices together we can ROAR. We are the majority, we just have to find a way to speak out together so that we are heard. Today we are announcing Shake Rattle and ROAR! Every two weeks we will send an email with information about something that has happened regarding puppymills. The email will ask everyone who receives it to send an email to a person either thanking them for what they have done, or asking someone to do something or roaring at someone for something they have either done or not done. Then we are also asking them to forward it to their friends and egroups so that there is an enormous response. The information will also be on the prisonersofgreed.org webpage. Through this process we can create a huge email chain that can respond quickly to every situation regarding the mills whether it's new legislation or closing a kennel. Together we can create a response that is well tuned and immediate. We can show people that we are watching them and that the citizens of the world do care enough to speak up for the dogs who are suffering. The first email recipient will be a person to thank. So often we are quick to yell at people who do things we don't like, but we forget to thank people who take a stand. Today we are asking you to email Mr. Tom Bauerle and thank him for the comments he made regarding puppymills on his radio show. Thank him for his compassion. Ask him to mention puppymills again. His email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] THANK YOU!! Please forward this email to every person or group that might be interested in stopping the misery of puppymills.
