Crosspost ~ Don't Kill Bill

Kyla emailed this to me and after taking a look at it I WISH she were closer!! I would LOVE to watch this and I hope that anyone within travel distance to Boulder will join her and then let me know ALL about it. I wonder what it would take to get her to come to Ontario and put on a show here ... hmmm ...



Title: Don’t Kill Bill: A Dog Lover’s Night Out
■Performers: Kyla Duffy, Jessie Miller, Clementine the Cattle Dog, and BILL!

■Location: Dairy Center for the Arts, Boulder, CO

■Date: February 12, 2011, 7:30 pm (come early to meet pet rescue organizations)
■Description: An exciting evening of aerial dance and storytelling to celebrate the joy adopted dogs bring to our lives.


Up For Pups’ first creation, Don’t Kill Bill: A Dog Lover’s Night Out, is a unique twist and spin on humane education. This roller-coaster of emotion coupling dynamic storytelling and unforgettable aerial fabric performances that express the love and joy adopted animals bring to their new homes has people across the nation STANDING UP FOR PUPS!


Performer Kyla Duffy risks life, limb, and dignity to tell you that:


 
- Adoptable dogs are GREAT dogs

- Today, at this moment, hundreds of thousands of animals are suffering at the hands of puppy mill owners who keep them shut in small cages and breed them again and again until they can breed no more
- WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
- By voting with our dollars not to support these unscrupulous breeders and opening our homes to those breeding dogs who have been rescued, we can put an end to the suffering

Thanks so much for writing about the Don't Kill Bill show. I hope the show will help people understand the connection between pet shops and puppy mills and that they'll ultimately feel compelled to more carefully consider the source when they get their next pet.

@GoLightly Thank you very much for your kind words. I would love to do the show in your town. To make it feasible, I think we'd need about 100 paying people to come out. What do you think?

Hopefully after the show we'll be able to put together a great teaser and also a DVD. Woof!
