The puppy is out of danger and in a much better place just by being in a petstore. Eventually, the pet stores will not be able to keep them and will sell them at a loss and they won't continue to be replaced if we don't buy them. |
Not true..... I may be missing
YOUR point but you don't have the right say that your point is the right one. I have not once said that I support puppy mills nor did I or will I ever purposely go searching for a puppy to buy from a pet store. I just happen to be one of those people that tend to have a soft spot for the underdog. I know that both moms and pups are suffering but you also have to wonder how much social damage is done to the poor pups that are left at the pet stores for months on end and then because they have been there so long they've probably lost out on the biggest chance of their life for social maturity and then end up sold to some "what a cute puppy" person that's going to become uninterested in that baby once the new wears off.
What if there were "baby mills" (human) and you as a mom at one these mills knew you were doomed to that life but would you not at least pray to God that your baby finds a good loving forever home even if it cost you your life? I mean yes that scenario is a little above and beyond but truthfully so are many of the post on here. It's true this is a huge discussion matter and I can't speak for anyone else but I for one do not appreciate being told how I should feel, what I should feel or when I should be ashamed of something. We are adults here not children.
