oprah, I was passing by a pet shop today when I saw a small(very small) crowd of people with signs protesting the pet shop with signs saying puppy mills kill and that you said it. So this small group of people are following what you say. I understand that the puppy mills are terrible breeders the conditions that these animal are breeded under are extremely poor. So... they should be protesting the mills not the pet shops, I understand that these pet shops buy the puppies from these mills but how else are these puppies going to find homes (they're already there in the store) if they 're outside protesting , most people won't cross a picket line. so maybe next time you do a show on puppy mills maybe you could mention not to picket the pet shop, but picket the mill itself. Where do you think these animals will end up if noone purchases them?!

I started watching Oprah from the very FIRST show and have not stopped. I think the most heart wellming show was whne she gave her audience members cars. EVEN THOUGH I WISH I WOULD HAVE RECEIVED A CAR BRAND NEW OR NOT BECAUSE WALKING IS NO FUN..LOL I am just so happy that Oprah is so blessed to be able to give.. GODBLESS!!

Re: AIDs/Cancer I spoke to a nurse today at Boward Medical Center. I ask her if AIDs & Cancer are related in anyway. Yes! They both affect the white blood cells and the Auto immue system and AIDS sometimes cause certain cancers. So I ask is AIDs really SUPER CANCER. She does not know. Read Esther and Judges in the bible. WARNING to the World.
