UPDATED: Mixing Business with Pleasure

Quoted as being the golden rule in the business world, mixing business with pleasure usually is a bad thing right? What about when it comes to social justice? Should companies take a stance on issues that aren’t relative to their business life? When it comes to the less fortunate we certainly take pleasure in doing so.
We’ve been printing flyers, posters, stickers and signs for the “anti-puppy mill” protesters for over a year now. Best Friends Animal Society, along with several other active groups, volunteers and public officials have been tirelessly protesting pet stores who purchase animals for resale that come from puppy mills. A puppy mill is a factory of sorts where dogs are forced to reproduce several times beyond their natural ability, often leading to death, or extreme sickness for both the mom and the puppies. These puppies may also be born healthy but raised in terrible and inhumane conditions before being sent off, groomed, then put on display in local pet stores.
KTLA anchor Lu Parker will be reporting on this issue tonight Wednesday May 26th during the 10pm news broadcast on Channel 5 in Los Angeles. You can watch a quick promo here, featuring our good buddy Jennifer Krause of Best Friends Animal Society.

Indie Printing strongly encourages you to follow the moto of Best Friends Animal Society’s current billboard campaign “Adopt Before You Shop.” Millions of perfectly healthy animals are being put to sleep every year in our city animal shelters. You can help by spreading the word about the puppy mills.
