I may have assumed that they were people's pets, just borrowed for the photo shoot.<br />Now, I will always remember, and won't be able to buy these. You are right about the eyes, and in fact, sad eyed puppies are appealing, but if a person takes time to think about the puppies, and that in fact they are scared from their treatment, of course it changes things.<br />I choose long ago, not to attend circuses with animals, or zoos, and have read several books on the treatment of circus and zoo animals, but somehow was blind to this.One book, "When Elephants Weep", made a huge emotional impact on me.<br />Do you think ever some pictures on cards were just private photos taken in someone's home, and sold to the company?I am hoping some are, but suspect not. I might find myself doing more reading on this subject, and blogging about it too.<br />Brenda<br />Mullin Avenue Workshophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489785153205822301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-48934801135558999902013-06-28T23:10:05.846-04:002013-06-28T23:10:05.846-04:00Hi sweetie!
