Puppy Mill Protest On the Circle

Connie on Activities - Tue, June 17 2008

I got this from the Puppy Mill protest email. Note, this is on a Wednesday. I am on vacation starting that Thursday, so I'm going to see if I can get off a day early and go.

DEFEND THE DOGS!

On July 9th a peaceful STATEWIDE RALLY will be held at Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis from 11:30 a.m-2:00 p.m. We're requesting all animal lovers and humane people to join us at this rally, demonstrating Indiana citizens will no longer tolerate INDIANA PUPPY MILLS. Please pass this information on to everyone who is ready to raise awareness and to make changes in Indiana! ACT NOW - promote this event to the fullest extent. Make plans now to attend! The dogs in Indiana mills desperately need you to attend. And remember, more people means more media, and that is how things begin to get changed!

DEFEND THE DOGS RALLY
July 9, 2008 11:30a.m.-2:00p.m.
Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis

Please RSVP to defendthedogs@yahoo.com if you will be attending.

The rally is in conjunction with Jana Kohl's book tour for "A Rare Breed of Love", a book about PUPPY MILLS and ANIMAL ABUSE. Jana is attracting national attention while speaking out against PUPPY MILLS on her summer book tour. It's exciting she's chosen Indianapolis for a stop on the tour.

There's not much time to promote this, so please act now. If all rescues and individuals will come together on this project, our voice will be heard!

It's time to pull together, Indiana! We look forward to seeing you at the rally!

*Please do not bring your dogs.

I'm taking the day off for it! Can't think of a more worthy cause.

Veronica & Eddie on Jun 17 at 07:58 PM

I will be there! Luckily, I don't have to work on Wednesdays until quarter to four.

Rachael on Jun 17 at 10:58 PM

I'll do my best to make it. I won't be working yet, so I should.

Teri & Leopold on Jun 17 at 11:14 PM

I'll be taking a personal day for it because now it's personal. I'm going to B&N in Carmel later that night too.

I can't get there at 11, but after summer school ends at 12, I will be able to come down.

Diane on Jun 18 at 06:23 PM

We need a head count for permit reason.
Thanks
