After
watching puppy mill exposés recently aired on several major Wisconsin TV
stations, citizens are demanding that our elected representatives do
something about the miserable conditions in pet mills, pet shops and other
pet facilities! Stricter regulation of so-called "pet mills" and
"backyard breeders" may once again be within our reach, but we need
your help to Get the Word Out!

sturdy enough to carry groceries, and roomy enough for your knitting needles
and several skeins of yarn -- or flyers and hand-outs for your next petstore
protest or meeting.

Display a
Window Sign:
Many of
you have been asking for "yard signs." We do not have the funds to
have yard signs made...at least not right now...BUT we are making available a
simple "window sign."
Please
download* this PDF and print on an eye-catching brightly colored paper, then
hang in windows, front doors, at work, on bulletin boards, at your vet's office
and in supermarkets, hand out at events, or use your imagination! Do remember
"Please" and "Thank You" when posting signs in businesses
and public places, though: Always ask the owner, manager, etc. if you may post
the sign, and THANK him/her for supporting our campaign for a more humane
Wisconsin!

Distribute
Flyers:
One of our supporters
has taken our "Contact Legislators" information one step farther. She
put together a flyer that asks people "to remind legislators that there
are more pet lovers than Republicans or Democrats," then tells them
exactly how to do that! We thought this flyer would be a wonderful resource to
share.
Please
download* the PDF and print on an eye-catching colored paper, then hand out at
adoption events, garage sales, club meetings -- anywhere humane-minded people
gather. Again, remember "Please" and "Thank You" when
distributing these.

Print a
Poster:
This poster will
hopefully make people stop and think about the living conditions of the parents
of those cute pet store puppies. Inspired by signs created for the
Petland Boycotts, our designer has
created a "generic" version for use to raise awareness in areas that
do not have Petland pet stores.

Dooley
the Papillion was pulled from the 10 March 07 Thorp Dog Auction as being
"unsellable" because he was so ill. Luckily, a rescuer was on hand to
take him off the miller's hands, and now that he's discovered that there is
more to life than misery, he's joined the fight against puppy mills.
He's
even commissioned some 8.5" x 11" Yankee Dooley posters that you may
print, post on bulletin boards or windows, hand out at protests and fair booths
and anyplace else you can think of, to Help Get the Word Out. He hopes his face
will make you smile -- and that his message will make you think.
Each
of the four poster features "Yankee Dooley's" photo, a different
"Stop the Abuse" or "Ask Candidates Where they Stand"
message, and our URL for further information. Please click on the example above
for the full-size pdf version of each poster, and on the link below to read
more about Dooley.
