Cavan and Nick act as announcers for the Quaker game show at the April Fools potluck hosted by First Day School. The theme of the pot luck was holidays (all holidays). It was a fun day!

Puppy Mills by Lian

I have learned how horrible life can be for dogs that live in puppy mills.

     Most of the dog mothers in the puppy mills were forced to breed litter after litter. They have been caged all their lives and have rarely seen the sunlight. If they were outside, they were still kept in their cages, no matter how bad the weather would be. Some of them have lost their ability to even just walk. These mothers are also under very bad health conditions and were never been checked by a vet.

      You might think the puppies look so adorable at the stores but their luck is not much better compared to their mothers at the puppy mills. They were kept at all times in very tiny cages that were built for chickens and have to stand on chicken wires. They were so dirty that a white puppy might look brown. Their poor teeth look like they were soaked in yellow paint. They were forced to walk on small wheels for mobility and they too were not been brought to a vet.

     Very little of them were discovered and rescued and had to be brought to the ER right away. Some of the puppies might die soon after they were bought from a store and some of them don’t even make it there. They will suffer for rest of their lives in tight cages at puppy mills.

     Now you’ve heard this wrenching story about puppy mills and know how they have treated their dogs so inhumanely just for their profits. If ever think about getting a fury friend to your family, please rescue a homeless one. You will not only save their lives but also give them the love and happiness they deserve.

Lucretia Mott by Ben

Lucretia Mott was born in a Quaker family. She was born on Nantucket in 1793. It was a time when women did not speak up. She was a Quaker minister. She believed that everyone should have human rights. Slaves had a miserable life. That’s why she spoke up for human rights. Lucretia Mott died in 1880. She lived for 87 years and she is my ancestor!
