I contacted the local tv station that has been covering the horrid practices of Petland - including the sale of animals from puppymills - I asked them to examine their practices of taking in animals they have no information on.
The other thing that hit me, is that Petland told me I could just walk in with my "cat" - no proof of vaccines, etc. So who is to say someone couldn't leave a sick animal and even further expo the pets they are trying to sell.
I forgot to add to my post yesterday, that when I called Petland, I inquired if my "cat" would be placed in the same area that the other animals are. The employee asked if my cat got along with other cats - which I assured him my "cat" does. He then said, yes my cat might be housed with other pets they are offering for sale.
I would like to see the local media investigate this practice also, as I wonder if they are violating any state laws..... |
