Petland Rally - North Olmsted, Ohio---New Date!! Saturday Feb 7th 1-3pm

Join us for this important rally to raise awareness of the cruelties of puppy mills - and Petland's role in it. The national Humane Society has documented Petland's involvement in buying puppies from these mills. Even though there has not been documentation specific to the Petland store at Great Northern, they choose to participate in the problem by selling puppies.

Let's rally to put the pressure on this Petland store to STOP selling puppies. Let's get the message out encouraging this store to start being part of the solution. This store could sponsor adoptions through shelters and rescue groups at the store (as Petco and Petsmart do).

Through this rally we can also make the public aware of the REAL story of the suffering and deplorable health conditions of these puppies (and the adults left back in the mills). No one will want to buy a puppy from this store once they KNOW.


* Meet on the public sidewalk on Great Northern Boulevard between 1-3pm.
* Park cars far away from the Petland store so we're not accused of blocking business.
* Bring your own hand made signs/displays or we'll provide the posters from HSUS.
* Forward this email to all of your pet lover contacts If you can't make it to the rally, call this
* Petland store. Ask the manager to stop selling puppies!
