If people would stop buying from these venues then there wouldn't be a problem. The pet stores are attempting to make money. All that has to happen is people need to stop buying puppies from places like that. We don't need to protest. We don't need to demonstrate in front of those places. We just need to STOP buying puppies from puppy mills. Why does that seem so difficult to do?  |
I read all the time on Yorkietalk that people had no idea that you shouldn't get your dog from a Pet Store; this is something they have learned from Yorkietalk. How did you learn about this? The protesters were trying to make people aware of the fact that Pet Stores carry dogs that have been raised in puppy mills. People don't actually buy the dogs directly from the puppy mills, the puppy mills sell the dogs to pet stores, and now that web sites are so popular, the puppy millers are selling them from very nice web sites. I wish I could throw a protest to get people to stop buying from websites. How do you look in a pom pom outfit?
