I'll be watching and TIVOing, but I'm not sure how this will go. Either my blood pressure will reach stroke level or I'll be crying so much I'll have to turn it off (similar to how my mom almost had to carry me out of "Eight Below").

omg this is bad i just wish the world would open their eyes and see whats going on

I just stumbled across your blog today and I'm so pleased to know that the Sun has made an effort to keep animal issues in the spotlight. John, thank you for your important work and allowing those of us who love animals to indulge in your blog!

It's important that people help in anyway they can. People like Mary (in the video) becoming informed and changing her actions is exactly what I hope stems from your blog. It's nice to know high profile celebrities are helping get the word out. I hope Oprah is true to her word... my mutts and I will be watching with baited breath!

Not to play devil's advocate but there's been a lot of exaggeration (in my opinion) on pet stores' connections with puppy mills. Petland is one of the bigger chains popular for causing the puppy mill scare in 2000, however, a good friend of mine who is a devoted animal lover owns one of these franchises. they have such little connection with their corporate side when it comes to where they get there puppies. puppy mill puppies are fairly easy to recognize. my friend's store has puppies from all USDA licensed breeders that he can personally contact. he frequently lets the puppies out of their kennels, and cares for them very well. I just think pet stores have gotten bashed a little too much.

I was sobbing my eyes out and clutching my little dog, and I hardly ever cry at anything. And there is so little we can do about it; it's just awful. Those poor, poor dogs.

So Michael Vick goes to jail for dog fighting and nothing happens to the owners of these puppy kills. Only in America
