I agree that some stores look clean. Well, the front does. Who knows what is going on back where we can't see? I know lots of ex puppy store workers talk about "sick rooms" and being told to throw puppies out in the trash. which is why they hire young, young girls who need the money and who usually will do what they are told, no matter how odious.
The reason to work on the mills AND the stores is that if there is no market for pet store dogs, it slows the flow from the mills. It also drives prices down, and if you can't get the $$$$$$ then they stop breeding the dogs. Yes, the internet still exists, and its harder to shut down, but a lot of people aren't net savvy so, if we take the wet noses our of our malls, it will cut demand dramatically.
Please, everyone, speak with your wallets. Refuse to frequent these stores, tell them WHY. take your money elsewhere.
they can't survive if enough of us do it.
