I don't miss very many Oprah shows. I really want to see this one, but I'm so afraid it will make me sick. I know what goes on in those mills, I just don't know if my stomach can handle it, Lisa Ling really goes in depth with her stories.

I may not always agree with her, but I do think she has a good heart.

It's on here in Chgo right now, beginning is rough.
She's asked everyone to buy from Responsible Breeders Only!!! Next dog she gets will be a Rescue. Way to go Oprah. Commercial is over, gotta go.

I hope to catch watch that show. I guess I am going to start another war, but everyone has their opinions and unless educated about a subject we don't know about. The public has no clue.

My daughter brought Gucci a yorkie from a puppy store, and now I realize that she probably did come from a puppy mill. Am I sorry no, because I know more now about the treatments of these poor dogs and if I was educated enough on puppy mills, chances are I would not have brought Gucci. Gucci had liver shunt and we suffered much grieve, spent a lot of money along the way .She is healthy as can be now. I think if I didnt buy her she be dead by now. So was it worth the money I spent?.. Yes she is my little angel

I do advocate not buying from puppy stores now that I am educated about it. It's a shame so many cute dogs are going to be neglected. It wasn't their fault. But I agree.

yeah i think it will be rough. it's a very hard thing to realize what goes on. i'm glad it's getting out on such a popular show.

There's the possibility that Gucci didn't come from a puppy mill. I have a friend that raises labs and she is definitely not a puppy mill, but when she has trouble selling her puppies then she takes them to a pet store. I'm sure that there are others like her so I wouldn't assume that all puppies are from puppy mills just because they're in a pet store.
