The Animal Rights Foundation of Florida held a street-side protest in front of Just Puppies at the corner of Orange Blossom Trail and 42nd Street Saturday December 19, 2010. Their mission was to encourage people to adopt animals and to not shop at pet stores for the holidays. According to the event's organizer Carla W., "Millions of pets die in shelters every year and we feel that every dog bred is a shelter dog dead." She went on to say that if folks want purebreads, the shelters have them as well and recommended the site PetFinder.com.
Their next event: One of their next protests is at the Amway Center (400 W. Church Street, Orlando) on opening night of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Thursday, January 13, 2011, 6pm. According to their site, "Animals in circuses live miserable lives of deprivation, confinement and abuse. Ringling’s animal-care history is riddled with USDA violations and penalties. Twenty-six Ringling elephants, including four babies, have died since 1992."
