They are probably the biggest outlet for puppy mill puppies in the country. I've contacted our local humane society, talked to our local TV station and spread the word among everyone I know. Our humane society humane education director does a guest column every week in our area newspaper and is supposed to make this the subject of her article this Sunday (we'll see how that goes). Even if we can't go after some Amish farmer in Pennsylvania, we can all do our part to stop Petland from selling these puppies. To badly paraphrase an old speech, "The only thing necessary for evil to take hold is for good people to do nothing".

That's so sad I hate Petland Good Luck shutting them down. We just have a small petstore in the mall here called the Puppy store (but I refer to it as the Puppy Mill)..the man that owns it is aweful I wish it would be illegal to sell dogs commercially

Purchasing from backyard breeders, pet shops, and puppymills perpetuates the suffering of other dogs.
Educate yourself and buy from reputable breeders or rescue.
