About 15,000 people attend every year for the various vendors, entertainment, and food.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CAPS NY Director Barbara Dennihy took a booth for the second year in a row to educate consumers about pet shops and puppy mills.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There was lots of interest this year. The huge “Models Against Pet Shops and Puppy Mills” banner had people stopping by all day to ask about the campaign and our work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dennihy also spoke about New York State Senate Bill S3753 and how New Yorkers can help get it passed. Passage of this bill will allow local municipalities to regulate pet dealers in NY state communities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you Barbara for your hard work and dedication!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://capsweb.tumblr.com/post/52008761917</link><guid>http://capsweb.tumblr.com/post/52008761917</guid><pubDate>Sun, 02 Jun 2013 19:03:02 -0400</pubDate><category>CAPS NY Director Barbara Dennihy</category><category>Annual Smithtown Festival Day</category><category>Models Against Pet Shops and Puppy Mills</category><category>Companion Animal Protection Society</category></item><item><title>The CAPS Communicator</title><description>&lt;a href="http://caps-web.us6.list-manage2.com/subscribe?u=36bfdec6ce&amp;id=b2bd51bbc8"&gt;The CAPS Communicator&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;Our June newsletter is almost ready to go out.

&lt;p&gt;We will be speaking to the lady who started the protests, which take place every Saturday from 12pm-2pm.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How did she find out about this place which ranks number two on the HSUS top 100? What made her want to get out there and raise awareness?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Even though the neighbours are against it, why haven’t they done anything about it? How can they stand the smell of decaying flesh come from the back of the store?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Listeners are welcome to call our show and ask questions of their own, or tell us about puppy mills they are aware of, or of anything they are doing to help shut down puppy mills.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The number to call is:  (718) 664-9560&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://capsweb.tumblr.com/post/51117625209</link><guid>http://capsweb.tumblr.com/post/51117625209</guid><pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 22:09:59 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Thoughts and Prayers</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the tornado in Oklahoma.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Message from CAPS Spokesmodel Beatrice: If you would like a beautiful poster from CAPS’ “Models Against Pet Shops and Puppy Mills” campaign, “Like” my page, share, and comment! When my page reaches 1,800 fans (although 2,000 sounds much bet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="text_exposed_show"&gt;ter!), I’ll pick a lucky winner from those “liking,” sharing, and commenting and send a private message asking for an address. The more people “like” my page, the more awareness I can create about pet shops and the puppy mills that supply them. Maybe Ellen DeGeneres will finally notice all my hard work and invite me to her show!&lt;br/&gt;Please share!&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/beainpink" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://capsweb.tumblr.com/post/50992761082</link><guid>http://capsweb.tumblr.com/post/50992761082</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 11:22:29 -0400</pubDate><category>BeainPink</category><category>End puppy mills</category><category>Companion Animal Protection Society</category><category>caps spokesmodel</category></item></channel></rss>
