Just a few days ago, I wrote this post on my blog about the Humane Society taking action against puppy mill ties to the the retail pet superstore chain Petland. We received a lot of great feedback from that post, and are excited to have Mike Markarian, Executive VP of the Humane Society of the United States and President of the Humane Society Legislative Fund to share his thoughts on the news (read more about Mike's career fighting to protect animals here). The story of puppy mills across the US is heartbreaking, but with the efforts of the Humane Society, they may soon become a thing of the past.
I'm proud to call Mike a friend and partner in the animal protection movement and hope you will continue to follow him online on his blog and Twitter (@mmarkarian). Thanks again to Mike for sharing his unique perspective.
