Re: OT - Petitioning Oprah

[Barbara Lowe]

Title: Message

the little I've watched of the show, I dont' recall her ever doing any show on animals. and when I used to have a bookstore, always had requests for books she would mention or authors she'd host but never had a single request for any animal oriented book rec'd by her. You would think Oprah would be horrified at those "quaint Amish people" running puppy mills, etc.  the only time I ever watched Tony Danza's talk show--for all of 2 minutes, the moron surprised a young female guest with a choice of different puppies his staff had picked out from a pet store near their building. Ellen Degeneres expresses concern for animals and backs it up on her website also. will go sign petition for oprah... barbara   ----- Original Message ----- From: Doljan, Joan To: 'felvtalk@felineleukemia.org' Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 11:07 AM Subject: RE: OT - Petitioning Oprah Thanks.  Passed it on. -----Original Message----- From: Julie Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 10:55 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: OT - Petitioning Oprah Dear Friends,   Here is a link to sign a petition asking that Oprah do a show on pet overpopulation, puppy mills, and other animal issues.   http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/621738786?ltl=1110297092   Oprah is such a unique celebrity in American culture; I wrote to her office about a year ago asking for a show like this and did not receive a response; the goal for the petition is 100,000 signatures.  Hopefully they will consider it if that many folks make it clear they'd like to see this issue addressed.   Please consider signing!   Love, Julie "I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man.
