Well the thread, I guess is different things to different people, to you it's about shutting down puppy mills, to me it was about teenage girls protesting against a pet store, and informing the public that pets store puppies come from mills. To others, it was about the differences between the ways the boy and girls were treated. Yorkiekist seems to believe that a legal business should not be harassed or disrupted in any way, and the girls should have protested in another legal way. Even though nearly all of us here at Yorkietalk are against puppy mills, we all seem to feel differently about what steps should be taken to shut them down.
We had a thread earlier where we asked people to stop shopping for any merchandise at pet stores that sold puppies, very few people seemed willing to do this, although they all thought it was horrible that the store sold puppies. As many said, it's so inconvenient.
