Protest Puppy Mill Parlor

Thank you to everyone who has joined our protests at Puppy Mill Parlor.   We have not had the police called on us since we have video cameras taping our protests.  So, Tammy and Mary, you can no longer flip us off, swear at us, have your puppy mill pipeline friends swear at us, flip us off, etc.  Those days are over.    

 

It’s 9:00 AM on Sunday and since 2:00 yesterday afternoon, my dogs have been walked, fed, played with, slept in soft beds, etc.  The dogs in the back room of Puppy Mill Parlor have been locked in cages and they still have 2 hours to go till the store opens.  But then again, so what???  They still don’t get out of the cages.  In my opinion, this is animal abuse.  This is not humane care and treatment.
