“Puppies Are Biodegradable”
Fri., July 6, 6pm. Free. Through July 30. FUEL Collection, 249 Arch St. 215.592.8400. www.fuelcollection.com
Take a drive along Business Route 30 West and you’ll see the billboards. They all say the same thing: Puppy mills must be stopped.
First time I saw them, I couldn’t figure out why anyone would open a strip-mall storefront selling mutts in bulk.
Turns out puppy mills are even more offensive than strip malls. They’re factory farms where dogs are mass produced like Nikes in Bangladesh.
FUEL Collection has arranged an exhibition of work from more than 30 artists spotlighting the inhumane conditions in these assembly line kennels.
Go on, let the dogs out. (Joshua Valocchi)
