Oprah is Peta's Person of the Year and She Deserves It!

oprah-and-the-pooches

This past April Oprah did a show about the atrocious puppy mills and dedicated the show to her 13-year-old cocker spaniel Sophie, who had recently passed. PETA's president Ingrid E. Newkirk said that Oprah had used her "powerful voice to defend those without one."

I saw that episode and I am not ashamed to say that I mildly cried. It was sad y'all! There were dogs that couldn't stand because they had lived in cages their whole life. Lancaster Pennsylvania aka Amish country is where most of these puppy mills are. I live about 45 minutes away from there. They are absolutely horrendous to their breeding dogs. Oprah really did do a good thing. She deserves it, and she didn't even have to get naked.
