yes that's a strong word but based on what I saw and read - Pet Land should be renamed PetPrison.
The puppies I saw were just miserable and lonely & some were very sick looking ...I was asked to leave the store a long time ago cause I asked questions (kind of loud)....about where they get their puppies and why did they look so sick and unhappy ....they didn't answer but (nicely) asked me to leave which I was more than happy to do ...but I literally had tears in my eyes driving home.
There is a different Pet Store near me (Pet Depot) ....while I'm against selling dogs in stores - these puppies were in a big clean enclosed area PLAYING - while at 'Petland' ....they keep them in tiny cages all alone. They look sooooooo sad.....
From what I've read (and I read ALOT about them) they are the #1 Customer of Puppy Mills.
Did I mention I hate them ? |
I know exactly how you feel! I went into a pet store last weekend just to check it out. It's called "Pet's Choice", and I had never heard of them. I actually went in to see what kind of products they sell, not realizing they sold puppies. They had several yorkies in a cage who were having a horrible time walking on the wired bottom. They were peeing and pooing everywhere and were trying to play, but it was impossible because of the wire! There was ONE bed in the cage with 7 dogs, 5 of which were yorkies. It was a small bed and these puppies were very tiny, but they could have at least put a couple more beds in there!
The lady who was working there at the time was busy with a customer, so I left and went home and called them. A man answered and I asked him where they get their puppies. He told me from local breeders, they never use puppy mills or farms. Yeah right. I told him most reputable breeders that I know would never sell to a pet store. He hung up on me!!!!!
I called the Humane Society, but I don't know if they will do anything.
