thread How can we stop mills and support pet shops at the same time? Even pet shops who buy from so called"reputable" breeders..the problem is separating the wheat from the tares. We tell our chidlren not to talk to strangers..most strangers are perfectly fine people, but there is no way of knowing..we err on the side of safety.
The average Joe can not tell what shop does what..many flat out lie. How can the buyer go to visit these breeders and see for themselves? The fact a breeder allows their pups sold in a shop makes them someone I perfer not to deal with...and if my blanket, narrow minded anti-pet shop statements make me less credible, so be it..I can only offer what I know and have seen through experince, anyone is free to use this advise or ignore it. I do it all the time myself.
Best wishes and I know the poster is passionate about educating. |
