Oprah's Eyes Open to Puppy Mills

Woo on My Blog - Wed, April 02 2008

Someone posted that Oprah will have a show about puppy mills this Friday. Today Oprah has released some comments regarding the upcoming episode and her newfound awareness of the issue.

It's hard to believe that someone of Oprah's stature wasn't aware of puppy mills. Now that she does, she is striking out in the best way that she can, by airing a show about the horrors of puppy mills. I know it will be a hard show for us to watch, but I will watch it and I will tell everyone I know to watch it.

Hopefully, this episode will reach others who are unaware of the inhumane conditions so many dogs and puppies endure.

Hopefully, this will be the beginning of the end for puppy mills.

Hopefully, people will go to rescues and shelters and adopt.

Hopefully, the words "no kill" will have real meaning one day.

It's always amazing when celebreties are shielded from "normal" life. Oprah has an amazing audience base so this is bound to have wave like reactions around the nation.

Maybe Oprah could do a piece on the No Kill Revolution when she is done helping spread the word about puppy mills. I only hope this means the beginning of not only increased awareness, but improved efforts to shut down puppy mills once and for all. Unfortunately the AKC needs to get on board for things to really happen.

My best friend, exroommate, who now lives in California has been writing Oprah monthly about doing a show on this. She was so excited when I told her it was finally going to happen.

What time does Oprah come on? I will probably have to tape it.

I think I just set the dvr to record it. I hope so. I'm going to be at the Hoosier Horse Expo on Friday.
