We also need laws on the books that only so many dogs allowed in a family and NONE are to be kept outside 24-7 or in cages.
Your going to be calling on all these folks here at YT wanting help because your dog is sick. These dogs are generally in very bad health from unethical breeding practices. I've seen it too many times where people are spending thousands trying to keep their pet shop dogs well. You should really reconsider what your about to do. |
I find what your saying a bit harsh and your making this person fell guilty
buying her puppy. It is the government you should be talking too.
Write a letter to your local congressman complaining about puppymills.
Not all pet stores sell sick puppies. I understand what you are trying
to get across but not buying from a pet store will not put the puppymills
out of business unless the entire population stops and that is not going
to happen. The government can stop this IF THEY WANTED. Did you ever
stop and think about the $ being sent the government's way from these
sales? It's called TAX and that is why pet stores are allowed to sell
puppies. Your taking your frustration out on the wrong people. Write
the government. It is so easy to shut a puppymill down if they wanted too.
Every pet store has an invoice where the puppy came from. IF the law
wanted to find out and shut it down how easy is it to do so.
They choose to close their eyes. Buddy is from a pet store and is healthy.
He is not from a puppymill! I refuse to feel guilty because I purchased him.
When I read the horror stories on this site regarding buying puppies from some breeders it's not any different. Your taking a chance either way. The important thing is to educate yourself in either area. Who are you to judge
anyone and where they buy their puppy? I think you went a bit overboard.
I would be the first one in line if I could shut the pet stores down but it
just ain't gonna happen without the government stepping in to help.
These poor innocent animals should not have to suffer. If they are healthy
they deserve a home like any other dog from a breeder.
We are all intitled to our opinion and this is mine! Do you really call yourself
an animal lover?
