Subject: Join with Best Friends Animal Society to stop West Virginia Puppy Mills

Dear Governor Manchin,

In your state, a puppy mill called Whispering Oaks Kennel was busted
recently. This was one of the largest busts ever of this kind, and it has required
a national rescue effort to deal with the problem.

Whispering Oaks Kennel was forcing nearly 1000 dogs to live in squalor, and
was also potentially contaminating the water supply with fecal matter.
Unfortunately, because of _the loose regulation in West Virginia, there could be
countless similar puppy mills operating in your state.

This needs to stop! We ask that you follow the lead of other states and
change the laws in West Virginia to limit and regulate the scope of these
operations. Doing so would protect the people of your state and ensure humane
standards of care for man's best friend.
