I'm all for 2 views on a subject ....but THIS thread seems to never end. The point isn't that all PET SHOPS ARE BAD....of course there are a FEW good ones...The point is to NOT ALLOW THEM TO SELL LIVE animals. IF they were stopped from this practice then PUPPY MILLS would have NO CLIENTS.
The selling of live animals needs to be stopped so the MASS breeding will stop or slow down.........and THAT MEANS PET SHOPS both good and bad. THEY are the biggest client of mills. Period. I get sick every time I hear its ok to shop in pet stores.
HOW can any defend the conditions and breeding practices these poor animals live in ? I just now tried to stay away from this thread ....but this really sends out the wrong signals to people.
I think the person defending pet stores would change their tune after spending time with a poor puppy who just got shipped in a cage hundreds of miles only to arrive to ANOTHER cage sick and lonely...needing human contact and slowly dying from neglect and parasites. Tell me what is GOOD about this practice ? not to mention the Living conditions they were born into...I witness first hand what happens to a pet store puppy that won't sell - it was sickening.
sorry everyone....I get Passionate about this ....and seeing OVER AND OVER here that it's ok to shop Pet Stores blows me away.
