Boycott Pet Express

Pet Express is scheduled to open on August 16th at the mall and the South shore community is not welcoming them!
Pet Express buys its puppies from puppy mills...these dogs live in deplorable conditions, without adequate (or sometimes any) care at all.  The goal of these commercial dog breeding facilities is to increase profit by sacrificing basic care of the animals.
To minimize waste cleanup, dogs are often kept in cages with wire flooring that injures their paws and legs—and it is not unusual for cages to be stacked up in columns. These dogs are crammed inside these cages their whole lives without ever seeing sunlight and then killed when they can no longer breed.  

A peaceful protest is scheduled for Friday, August 16th.  We need people to hold signs and pass out flyers.  Please help support this cause to help end the suffering of so many helpless dogs.
