I agree with you.
Its like we're always told not to buy PUPPIES from there. Never have I heard anyone say "don't buy hamsters from there...they're probably not healthy"...."don't buy those fishes....do you see how they have them in those little bowls?!?"
You know when I was 9 maybe 10 I saved up all my birthday money to buy this baby rabbit from a petshop. She was beautiful, black and white with these gorgeous greyish-blue eyes. I called her Oreo and she was my LIFE! I got in trouble one day & my punishment was for my rabbit to stay at my aunts house (because my mom KNEW that would drive me insane) a few days later my beloved Oreo passed away only a few months old. My aunt took her to the Vet to see the cause of death & they told her that Oreo went into cardiac arrest. I cried for WEEKS! As young as I was I couldn't understand how a baby rabbit can have a heart attack. So I blamed my aunt for years (even though she takes great care of her own pets.) But it wasn't until TODAY that I actually put the pieces together, I bought a sick rabbit!! Poor Oreo came from a mill. Oreo was probably so poorly bred that she didn't stand a chance!
Aww man, I still miss her to this day.
