I am a bit nervous too... I would love if there were NO puppymills in this world! I'd be afraid that the cost of pet ownership would skyrocket out of almost everyone's reach. There are repercussions to everything.
I absolutely believe that animals feel emotions. Dogs and cats especially and maybe that is because they are the most common animals to interact with humans. I don't know but when I look at my boys, they have all the love in the world shining in their little brown eyes and I know they have feelings and emotions. (I believe 'having a soul' is a religious thing, so I hesitate to agree on that level)
