PS- I'm sure Make a Wish is enlightened about Petland; they just have priorities- which is to help families get their wish. Your goal seems to be to stoop MaW from accepting donations from Petland. Even if MaW stopped taking donations from Petland, it would not affect Petland. Petland donates these puppies, they do not receive money for them. So ceasing to donate to MaW does not hurt their sales- which means they will continue to purchase from these puppy mills. The "publicity" that you think MaW donations get Petland does not help their sales. The publicity is mostly from Petland Corp. And there are never spikes in sales. I just wanted to further elaborate on my point about how MaW is getting caught in the crossfire against your anti-Petland campaign. Since apparently you read into everything I say as pro Petland...I will make this clear: I would like to see all Petlands closed. I would not like to see the MaW foundation unnecessarily financially hurt in order for this to happen.
Regarding MaW buying from a direct breeder. I think that is a perfect idea. And a campaign to MaW to support this would be a good idea; but please dont stop donating to them. |
