We hope some of you watched Oprah and saw Bill Smith, founder of Main Line Animal Rescue las Friday. It was an amazing show, and it shined a big ol' light on something that needs attention.

Now, this has caused a huge amount of attention on the issue, and we encourage people to advocate for the change we need across the country, not just in PA. Puppy Mills and animal abusers are as large a shame as eminent domain for private gain if you think about it.

Here is some stuff to read:

Stu Bykofsky: Local guy coaxed Oprah into show attacking puppy mills

IF OPRAH CAN DO for Fido what she's done for some authors and Barack Obama, dog lovers will wag their tails. They were drooling in anticipation of Oprah's show last Friday.

Oprah's endorsement turns books you never heard of into best-sellers, and transforms lagging presidential hopefuls into odds-on contenders....Oprah is among the exceptions, and when America's most influential woman pushes an issue, Americans respond.

On her Friday show, a teary-eyed Oprah condemned puppy mills, the bitter betrayal of "man's best friend." The canine horror houses are located ....and the Puppy Mill Capital of the East, picturesque Lancaster County.....The founder and head of 10-year-old Main Line Animal Rescue, in Chester Springs, Smith in February spent $10,000 of a donor's money to put up an anti-puppy-mill billboard near Oprah's studio. It pictured a cute dog pleading: "Oprah - please do a show on puppy mills; the dogs need you."
