Standing the Line:

Horst Stables Auction Company, Thorp, WI
11 March 2009
50 protesters braved subzero winds
to raise their voices
for those who cannot speak for themselves.

       These are just a few of the dedicated, passionate individuals who took time off from work and stood out in the cold to let people know that puppy mills are evil, and dog auctions are just plain wrong.

       Also on hand were Rep. Jeff Smith, announcing that he just two weeks away from presenting a bill that will help regulate dog breeding in the state, and WQOW-18 from Eau Claire, WI, to interview protesters. You can see the video here!
