It was just so sad.

There is a Petland in my area-its the only place that sells dogs. I KNOW it gets its pups from backyard breeders because a friend of mines neighbor sells its boxers to that Petland.. and they keep breeding their bitches over and over for years and years... Boxers are my favorite dog also and its just so sad...

I think the states need stricter rules for these backyard breeders and they need to enforce them. If i were an animal control officer i would be shutting them down left and right and taking all of their dogs and stopping them from ever owning dogs again... (or horses, cats... etc etc)

Animals feel pain, they have souls and didnt ask to be abused. It just makes me rage when ppl treat them less than what they are.. like they are an inanimate object.. (ok, ill step off my soapbox now lol....)

I have not every heard of this petland around here. But as I said I cryed all the way through it. And seeing the contribute Oprah did for her soffie was great. She is such an animal lover and great to do such a show.
I thought the hamster wheel was just so sad. Can you imagine what their poor feet felt like. Our babies are so lucky. They sleep with us in a nice comfy bed. And of course they own the living room furniture.
Im so glad they were able to get a few of the dogs out. I am like you I wish they can put a stop to the puppy mills. Our babies give us 150 % more love in return and so much joy.
Thank you all for responding. Just love and hug your beautiful animals
Hugs to all
