PETA's 'Pups' Take Over Nutty Parade

OK, I'll admit it—Mr. Peanut looked pretty sharp (who doesn't look good in a monocle?), but the real stars of last month's annual Virginia Peanut Festival parade were PETA's new mobile Animal Birth Control Clinic and the plucky 'pups' who walked alongside it. They were there to spread the word about the importance of spaying and neutering animal companions and to offer the services of our low- to no-cost clinic to the thousands of low-income families in attendance. The peanut-loving people of Emporia swarmed us to sign up their dogs and cats to be sterilized. Participating in a nutty parade (both figuratively and literally nutty) and doing something to stop thousands of unwanted puppies and kittens from being born—I'd say that's a pretty sweet way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

I'm writing in regards to the case in Lehigh County, PA of a puppy mill investigation by the SPCA where over 800 animals have been found (supposedly the biggest bust ever in the state). Anyhow, the owner of the "kennel" has been cited and CONVICTED of animal cruelty several times before (see the link I will insert at the end of this message) and now they are creating a PLEA DEAL with him since he "voluntarily" is surrendering the sick animals. PLEASE create an action alert and ask people to write to the judge, legislators, etc requesting that this guy be BANNED from "owning" any animals again, EVER.

This is brilliant.
We need to get spay neuter services out to those who need it.
People will do the right thing if they can be helped.
