You need to go back and reread what has been said about this subject.
There are certain requirements that need to be met for the Make a Wish program and if they only way to grant a puppy would be from puppy from Petland it just should not be an option.  How can you possibly say that puppymills are not OK except for kids that are in the Make a Wish program? Your logic here is beyond my comprehension.  Puppymills are not acceptable in any shape of form EVER. I just don't understand how breeding sick dogs so that you or anyone else can have a "cheap" puppy is even an argument? To further say that because they are busy it is OK to condone the actions of Petland? All they have to do is say NO! I am not asking MaW or St. Jude himself to fight puppymills! I was questioning whether or not they knew the implications of Petland's donations and was shocked by the response that I received. I believe you have totally missed the point of this entire thread. |
i never said puppy mills were ok for the sick kids i said go to the root of the problem, not the organizations that are doing good for the kids. go off on pet land and all the puppy mills. if MAW and St jude have been notified of petlands reputation great, well now its their call. i just think more energy should be concentrated on the ones doing wrong.
