PUT AN END TO PUPPY MILLS ON APRIL 19TH!

[putnamwitches]

Party With a Purpose this April!

The Humane Society Legislative Fund is excited to announce that our next round of Party Animals house parties will be Sunday, April 19, and will focus on putting an end to puppy mills.

Join our special guests—economist, author and actor Ben Stein, Congressmen Sam Farr (D-Calif.) and Jim Gerlach (R-Pa.), and HSLF President Mike Markarian—for the 7:30 p.m. ET nationwide conference call on April 19!


Ben Stein is an avid dog lover, and a true celebrity champion of animals. As he has demonstrated during his varied career advising presidents, teaching students, educating readers, entertaining audiences, and more, Ben Stein brings a thoughtful, measured, and real-world approach to the often delicate and complex issues of animal protection and the humane treatment of all animals.

Throughout their careers, Reps. Farr and Gerlach have been leaders of animal protection legislation in Congress, particularly the issue of stopping puppy mill cruelty. They are currently preparing to reintroduce the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety (PUPS) Act in the 111th Congress. The legislation would provide basic animal care standards for large-scale breeders that sell puppies over the Internet and directly to the public, who currently escape any federal oversight. It would also require that all dogs at puppy mills get out of their cages for exercise at least 60 minutes a day.


Puppy mills are breeding facilities that mass-produce puppies for sale in pet stores, over the Internet, and directly to the public. Dogs are stacked in filthy wire cages, often with no veterinary care or human interaction, and they are treated not like pets but like a cash crop. Mother dogs are constantly bred and kept in continuous confinement. They are destroyed or discarded when they can no longer churn out puppies.

Will you do your part to help puppies abused by this industry by hosting a "Put an End to Puppy Mills" Party Animals event on Sunday, April 19?

Party Animals is a fun and unique way to support the Humane Society Legislative Fund. The HSLF works at the state and federal level on animal protection legislation and also works to support humane candidates for office.

By hosting a Put an End to Puppy Mills party, you can invite your friends, neighbors and co-workers to a party with a purpose: helping HSLF end this cruel and inhumane treatment of puppies.
