Does anyone know how to get one of those online protest going? You know where you publish a page with an easy way to contact both charities, or have a list of signatures to supply to the charities to discourage involvement with such a Petland? There should also be an alternative suggestion to as to where to get dogs, I don't think rescues are a viable option in this case, but is there any pet store that does ensure that the dogs aren't raised in mills? Do we suggest that they only get them from reputable breeders, but how would this be done? Protests work better if a viable alternative is given. I wish pet stores could be given some sort of a rating, I think some are definitely worse than others. Thanks to all of you who have help educate us with this news. |
I'm not sure how to get an online protest going. I wonder if the breed club's would be able to come up with breeders that would be willing to donate puppies to these charities. I'm sure it would take more coordination to get it going but I also think it would be something that could potentially happen very easily, it seems most reputable breeders are good hearted decent people. And cost aside I would think they might be able to write it off just as im sure petland does.
