For anyone not familiar with puppy mills in Pennsylvania please visit
hua.org and click on Prisoners of Greed. In Pennsylvania the
majority of puppy mills are concentrated in one single county -
Lancaster County.

The officials refuse to enforce the law there because they are
blinded by the Pet Breeders Association and the Farm Bureau
who throw around a lot of money in political campaigns. The man in
charge of the state agency thatis supposed to enforce the law has
said that he will not enforce it in Lancaster County.
The conditions of the mills are horrible. The majority of the mills
are operated by people who are of Amish or Mennonite religious
beliefs and therefore usually do not have electricity. So the majority
of the kennels do not have have heat or air conditioning. There are
small short haired dogs out in wooden boxes in below zero temperatures
today. These dogs are bred over and over until they die. If they
don't die, they are sold to research labs when they no longer make
money for the kennel.

Should you have any thoughts about Amish and Mennonite people having
compassion for their animals, you only have to read the article in
the local newspaper today that talks about a 13 year old sheltie kept
in a kennel piled with feces for 9 years, never one time ever getting
out of the cage in 9 years. When he was rescued he was lame and limped in
circles because he had gone round and round in circles out of boredom in
the cage for 9 years. I have personally been to the kennels in Lancaster
County. I have seen and touched the dogs and can describe the conditions
from my own personal observation. Any description I could give would
not even begin to describe how terribly the dogs suffer. I have set
up an on line petition so that peoples' voices can be heard.
It's very easy and will only take a second of your time. Just go to
hua.org

and fill in a few blanks.

Please forward this email to every person, egroup, mailing list
that you know. It's critically important that we have a huge response.

Thanks so much,
