		<description><![CDATA[You may know purebred dogs are sold at auction. You may not know these dogs are bred as though they are livestock, a cash crop, except livestock are treated better than the dogs.

		<description><![CDATA[Inaugural Austin Petland protest wad held on March 15, 2008 2 weeks before the store opened to get the word out. Picketing began every Saturday on March 29, 2008 and will continue until Petland stops selling puppies from puppy mills. Animal advocates from Austin and surrounding communities staged a peaceful protest at the soon to open Petland store.
