The most recent Dog Auction in Thorp, Wisconsin, took place on Wednesday,

WE WERE THERE TO PROTEST!!
DOG AUCTION PROTEST A HUGE SUCCESS!
Our protest at the March 12th dog auction in Thorp was a huge success! We had over 60 people
in attendance, and the day went very well. We would like to extend a very sincere THANK YOU to everyone who helped with
our protest. The day was rather cold and snowy, but we know that we went endured is nothing compared to the suffering
the continues in puppy mills every day in Wisconsin. Many people travelled a long distance to participate, and we truly
appreciate their dedication.

If you are interested in seeing what a dog auction is like please go to our website (www.cchs-petshelter.org). There you will find all kinds of information including: eye-witness accounts, videos of the dogs prior to the auction,
videos of the auction in progress, and videos and accounts of the protest at the last dog auction. This may be unsettling
for many people to view and read about but it needs to be seen. The only way the auctions will ever be stopped is if enough
people care enough about the dogs to become involved and help us.
Our intent is to bring public awareness to the disgusting
event, because we know that when people see what is being done to these innocent animals, they will be outraged and help us
to get future auctions stopped. We feel that puppy milling and dog auctions are the ultimate betrayal of “man’s
best friend” in the name of greed. It disturbs us to think that society has sunken to such a level of callousness that
puppy mills and their corresponding dog auctions could be looked upon with indifference.
Do you agree that puppy mills and dog auctions are wrong? Then join us in making
a statement!
