Put An End To Puppy Mills - 4/19 @ 7:30 pm

"Put an End to Puppy Mills" Party Animals event on April 19th at 7:30pm.  See the link below for location information, and please consider joining other animal advocates to help eliminate this horrid business of puppy mills. 
 
For more details about this invitation and to RSVP online, go to: http://www.partylaunch.com/partyanimals/parties?e=savedogsfrompuppymills&userid=49940

Puppy mills are breeding facilities that mass-produce puppies for sale in pet stores, over the Internet, and directly to the public. Dogs are stacked in filthy wire cages, often with no veterinary care or human interaction, and they are treated not like pets but like a cash crop. Mother dogs are constantly bred and kept in continuous confinement. They are destroyed or discarded when they can no longer churn out puppies.

Join the Humane Society Legislative Fund as we party to get political for animals with our nationwide Put an End to Puppy Mills Party on Sunday, April 19th! We are helping to raise much-needed funds for HSLF, the political and lobbying affiliate of The Humane Society of the United States.

Every contribution helps us reach our fundraising goal and will help the HSLF's education and lobbying campaigns. We need stronger laws to protect animals from cruelty and abuse, and more humane lawmakers to pass these laws. The HSLF works at the state and federal level on animal protection legislation and also works to support humane candidates for office.

Please RSVP*  to our party and make your contribution online now. Then on April 19th, we'll gather at our party and dial in to the nationwide conference call at 7:30 p.m. ET with other Party Animals events across the country and hear the latest on what we can all do end the cruel puppy mill industry!

Thank you for your help!

P.S. Contributions or gifts to Humane Society Legislative Fund are not tax deductible. Your donation may be used for lobbying to pass laws to protect animals, as well as for political purposes, such as supporting or opposing candidates. HSLF does not accept contributions from business corporations or labor organizations.'
