Wow, saw picketing in Bellevue, WA! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

There's this HUGE sad pet store on NE 8th in Bellevue (maybe 8 blocks from Bellevue Square), and I saw like 5 or more people picketing outside today! Woohoo! And it was in 90 degree heat! They had signs like NO PUPPYMILLS, etc, it's good to see, I didn't get a chance to stop, as I was heading the other direction and then got pre-occupied after that...

dan have you ever been to the pet store in B&I in tacoma on south tacoma way? it is horrible!! they should protest there too, because they do get customers even with their store being filthy.

That most be a long drive for you if your from Seaside CA.

Nope, never really go down that far to Tacoma, I just thought it was awesome what the protesters were doing, as that place in Bellevue has been around for a while now. I should go inside and investigate...

A picture of them protesting would have made a great shot for the new forum "millbusters".

They have a pet shop in Oak Harbor that I"m going to go to next time I"m up there been waiting to go look and see if they have anything interesting.

and go to the Home Depot there to see if I get thrown out. LOL

That is GREAT news!!!!

YAY THIS IS THE WRETCHED STORE BRUCE CAME FROM!!!! I am so glad that even though we have been on hiatus people still care enough to try and keep people from those lying thieving sacks of poo inside absolutly puppies! You can count on Bruce and I to resume our spots as soon as we are back in Seattle! I would do anything to get that place shut down!

Bruce has just got a shirt that says "WHAT ABSOLUTELY PUPPIES DID TO ME IS ABSOLUTLY HEARTBREAKING!" and is ready to get back into action helping his puppy friends! I encourage everyone in the Seattle area to really spread the word about this place, not only do their dogs have all the typical problems mill/petstore pups usually do, but they engage in more deceptive sales practices than I have ever heard of any business engaging in before! They are thieves that swindle money and break hearts!
