i dont agree with puppy mill dogs i dont believe that reputable breeders (which on this site reputable have very strick rules to it) sell to pet stores but im guessing sometimes its back yard breeders and puppy mills. although byb arent the best way to go in a lot of peoples mind they are more affordable and not as strick on selling and give a lot of good people the opportunity to own a dog that in other cases wouldnt be able to. but i think its low to attact petland when they are doing GOOD deed by SICK CHILDREN. i dont care if it gives them exposure, they are making a very sick child happy!

i have never heard anything good about petland, ever and i believe the negatives about them, but this is different. and at the same time you are attacking them you are attacking a group that a LOT of people give thanks to for saving their childrens life and helping them keep their home at the same time. i personally think this is low. you may not be attacking per say but bothering them no less with something like this is insane they have a lot more to do then discuss puppy mills and defending their efforts to making childrens LAST wish come true.

and yes i think the birthday party thing is insane but giving a family a puppy, thats sweet no matter where it came from. if it makes the child and the family happy and brightens that child life, then why disrupt it? and if they have no case of sick puppies going to the st jude children then why bother it?

go full force against the puppy millers and the petstores for purchasing the puppymillers puppy i encourage you. but please for the children leave that little area alone.
Why disrupt it? While it is a great thing, it is giving a horrible organization good feedback which will make people want to buy from them. I think the point is to maybe educate them so they choose a better BREEDER instead of a huge pet store that sells sick dogs from puppy mills. Basically, you're saying that just because they're putting a smile on the face of a sick child, it should just be left alone? What about the poor dogs/puppies? Do they not matter just because it's the subject of sick children? Do you not think the dogs are sick? Have you ever even seen a puppy mill video? If you have and you have a heart, I don't see how you could just push it aside because a kid has a smile on their face.
