NOTE FROM DR JEAN re: Amazon

 

Please, folks, don't buy from Amazon!

Amazon supports puppy mills by allowing mills and

brokers to be " affiliates. " Amazon pays them, and that

money goes right back into causing more dogs to

suffer. And they allow live animals to be auctioned at

its auction site. I work with an anti-puppy mill group

called Critter Haven (www.critterhaven.org), and even

after we had lots of correspondence and pointed out to

Amazon why this was a problem, they refused to alter

their policies. Barnes & Noble's online bookseller

dumped its puppy mill affiliates as soon as they were

educated about the problem. eBay and auctions

don't allow live animals. And check out

<bestedeal.com>, you can get books a lot cheaper than

Amazon.

 

 

 

Auctions - Buy the things you want at great prices!
