Sorry for the late notice on this, but I just saw it -

Animal Planet is re-showing the Animal Cops Philadelphia program they did last year on puppy mills at 1:00 am and 5:00 am eastern time tomorrow (Oct 13). If you didn't see it previously and can record it, it's a real eye opener. Check your listsings to see when it's running in your viewing area - they only put in the line up every few months.

I caught half of it, will try to catch the half I missed. It just made me sick.

I saw it the first time it aired... It was sooo sad and I agree a real big eye opener. I had also just happen to have to go the mall a day or two after watching it and we usually stop in the pet store because the kids want to see the pups and just looking at probably 75% of them going around in circles over and over and over was even more sad to see that time. Then I really started looking at them and noticing all types of flaws they had from such poor breeding. They also had a boxer there that had to be around 3 months old and had it not said boxer I don't know that I would have known it was one. It looked more like a boxer/lab mix even though they state they only sell purebreds. It disgusted me to be in there. Not that I didn't already know what goes on and where they get their pups from but I guess having never actaully seen puppy mills and you know hearing something and seeing something can have very different effects on the mind it just started making me mad standing there looking at these puppies. It's a terrible thing and i'm glad they had an episode like this and I hope many many people watched it who maybe didn't even know this was going on.
