People Magazine Nov. 8th Issue

In this month's issue of People Magazine, there is an article starting on Pg. 127 entitled "Teen Titans." This article is about teenager entrepreneurs. One of these budding "merchants" is Timothy Hampson who is the proud owner of cuddlypuppy.com, who's mother helps him with the site.

Cuddlypuppy.com is just a mere example of what puppymills are in true definition. The "breeders" could care less as to where these dogs are going, to whom or what happens to them. The major priority in selling these dogs is simply money. There are over 70,000 dogs in pounds and shelters as we speak, many of them are leftovers from these mills and back yard breeders, "teacup" or miniature dogs who have so many health problems that they are dumped off at shelters is just a tiny example as to why.

This petition is to ask People Magazine to please allow an article to be put into their magazine about puppymills and rescue dogs, to try and educate people out there who need to be educated instead of advertising about a teenager and his mother making money off of making a careless website to help these millers sell more pups and pocket a few dollars on the side for it. The November article showed nothing more than promotion of these types of Internet breeders who need to be shut down.
