It is so hard for me to understand how anyone in Central Iowa can be still walking in the doors of this place. This one news station has done at least 7 stories in the last 10 mths on this place. Some people never watch the news I guess, or always a different station. I know at least one other station has covered the protests at Petland.
I do not live in the city where this Petland is, but I am thinking of contacting the city officials about shutting this place down. Also, I am thinking about starting a blog about the dangers of these places. But it has to be a blog with high traffic.
I would encourage others to start blogging about puppy mills & pet stores, like Petland, who sell these puppies. Anyone who lives in the vicinity of a newspaper owned by Gannett (the largest newspaper company in the US, owner of USA TODAY & several overseas papers) can go to the website of one of these papers & set up a blog. I'm sure other newspapers around the country do this too. They want people out their blogging, as it drives traffic to their site & since print is dying, they love the blogs - and you don't have to be a reporter.
The other thing I want to say about this Petland -- They are ACCEPTING unwanted dogs & cats - yep that's right just drop your pet off & they will sell it to someone else! I checked it out!! Why would you expo your pet to parvo & disease??!! Here's the thread I posted about it earlier this mth
