I couldn't watched Lisa Ling's investigative report on puppy mills for Oprah's show because I was at work, but ABC news did a short piece on the investigation and here it is : http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=3906861&cl=7289347&ch=4226713&src=news
Because I belong to an group of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines, I can read the numerous discussions between group members and people who, seems to me, just signed up to make an urgent plea for help. There were two this week who begged for assistance concerning two dogs who were tied up under rain and sun with no food nor water. One was described to be on the verge of a heat stroke. The images that filled my mind disturbed me immensely, but I am also encouraged at the same time. There is a growing number of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines and ordinary citizens are beginning to reject animal cruelty, willing to take personal action against it. Just from this website, I can see from the visitor data that many are seeking information on how to report animal cruelty in the Philippines. You can find my previous post on the subject HERE . Keep in mind that your complaint has legal standing via the Philippine Animal Welfare Act which is also known as the RA 8485 ....

But at the cost of gassing up her private jet to go to California to buy a dog, ends up with 3 ( no responsible pet breeder would sell 3 dogs to a person)...and what to save a few bucks? Oprah claims she is a changed woman but the place she bought these dogs was a dump....shouldn't she have known better? Are there no dog breeders in Chicago? She needs to atone for her sins...by donating big to animal shelters of America.
