its a petstore, that yes is not reputable by any means. but i hardly see it tarnishing their image. they are a extremely honorable organization and i cant for see something like this making them look bad. the big problem here is petland and the puppy mills not st jude and make a wish. someone has already stated to them what their opinions are of petland to the organizations, at this point to proceed further i believe in going forward with finding way to correct the root of the problems
petland would be the one at fault and therefore need the negative attention. my guess is if they get tons and tons of negative attention and it becomes national news, st jude would probably not bother with dealing with them anymore |
Hi everyone! I am "the one" from the other thread. Tammy, I agree with you whole heartedly, which is why I joined the forum to express my displeasure at the thought of punishing a charity for accepting a donation. I told everyone that I was an ex-franchisee to support my agrument and not seem like I was pro Petland; which I am not. Unfortunately some irrational people think that because I stated my opinion, that I am part of a conspiracy with Petland. My question is: why would I admit to being an ex franchisee if I was part of this alleged conspiracy? I would like to see all Petland stores closed down because I do not think the Petland monitors their franchisees enough to ensure that puppies are not bought from puppy mills. However, I would not like to see a charity suffer because they tried to make a dying child's wish come true. Puppy mill politics should be addressed on its own, write a campaign to Petland or the state, or the federal government...whatever you want. By these charities losing your support, the families they help are the ones that suffer. Petland will not be affected by it at all- if you want to stop Petland you need to reassess your target.
