Please join me and IDA President Dr. Elliot Katz this Saturday

for a Puppy Mill Protest at Pets of Bel Air

Just one hour out of your weekend can really help take a bite out of

puppy mill cruelty!

IDA and several other groups are promoting adoption and combating puppy mill cruelty in Los Angeles. Our current target is Pets of Bel Air, a favorite shopping spot for Hollywood celebrities like Paris Hilton, Denise Richards and Demi Moore. Pets of Bel Air sells pets from pet factories, including dogs, cats and bunnies.

A recent undercover video investigation revealed that Pets of Bel Air sells dogs raised in puppy mills. Sometimes they admit it and sometimes they don’t. But the people who shop at Pets of Bel Air deserve to know the truth about where their puppies come from, and the puppies and kitties need someone to speak up for them. Please join IDA and others in speaking out against this cruel business and educating shoppers about the merits of adopting instead of purchasing animal companions.

What: Demonstration against puppy mill cruelty

When: Saturday, July 5, 2008, Noon - 3:00 p.m. (whether you come for two hours or 20 minutes, you’ll have fun while making a difference!)

Where: Outside of Pets of Bel Air, 2924 N. Beverly Glen Circle, Los Angeles, Calif. (In the Beverly Crest neighborhood off of Mulholland Drive, near the top of the hill, on Beverly Glen - please do not park in the front or back parking lots of the pet store)

Please join me, Dr. Katz and our like-minded friends this weekend, even for just an hour, and speak out peacefully against pet factories. If we stop the demand and create revulsion for puppy mills and the pet stores that keep puppy mills in business, we not only educate the shoppers on the merits of adoption, but we hurt the puppy mills where it hurts most - in the cash register.

Also please call or email pets of Bel Air to (politely) tell them that you will not shop there until they stop purchasing dogs from puppy mills.

Tel: (310) 475-7977

Some important notes about this event:

As representatives of the animal protection movement, it is important that we remain cordial at all times:

We never engage in hostile or aggressive conversations and we obey the law.

We do not block foot or car traffic, we do not block the entrance or exit of any store in the shopping center.

We do not raise our voices. We present ourselves as professional and we don’t “talk back” to people who try to engage us in unpleasantness.

We do not park in the shopping center unless we’re making a purchase (there is plenty of street parking).

For more information about the demonstration, email me at Karen@idausa.org.

I look forward to seeing you there!
