selling a puppy in a window for $1000 with supposed AKC registration papers isn't anymore responsible than selling them for $400 with APRI papers. it's disgusting that those babies are cooped up with each other in tiny windows and bothered by thousands of new people every day...i would never buy from a pet store...think of all the germs and things those puppies are exposed to from all those people playing with them and the other little puppies around them...they are way too young to be fully vaccinated and most are way too young to leave their mommys...(I did take that advice and store it away after all ) i just think it's sad how they are treated in pet stores and yet governments have never passed legislation to close the animal selling part of pet stores.
Over a $94 Billion Dollar Industry...Lobbyists....Do you really think the government is just going to change this? It is up to US (you and me) to get the laws changed. Please go to Prisoners of Greed and see what you can do to help make the change. Just saying poor puppy is not going to do that.
