All of that is beside the point. The point I would like to make is how can you possibly fault someone for trying to help make someones life better? Your going to cease donations to these charities because they accepted a donation from someone you dont like? You should be ashamed of yourselves. I would like to see ANY documentation/articles from where a petland pet that was donated to one of these charities had any problems. I agree that some of the stores are disgusting, but you are equally as disgusting for bringing your puppy mill politics into the charity realm. |
I don't believe anyone is going to stop donating to charities, they are just stating that they are going to bring it to the charities attention that they are support, and ADVERTISING petlands puppies. I also don't think anyone of the posters that are involved in this thread are going to change their mind about ANY petland stores based on what you said. Plain and simple, call it a puppy mill, BYB or "facility" no responsible breeder who breeds for the right reasons is going to sell a middle man
