		<description><![CDATA[On Monday I wrote a post on BTC4Animals, asking for help petitioning Petland USA to stop selling pets and fire puppy mills, especially after Petland Canada announced in September that they would be winding down this part of their operations.  And what a great response &#8211; there are now nearly 30 bloggers who will be writing about puppy mills and Petland today!  Stephanie [...]]]></description>
