You are right she asked a question but at the same time she was trying to validate her puppy, which leads me to think she already knew the answer but was hoping for some type of acceptance. So perhaps instead of turning this thread into the horrors of pet stores and puppy mills a simple reply like yes most pet stores get their dogs from puppy mills, so pay close attention to your dog's health and if you decide to purchase another dog you might be better off looking for an honest breeder, would have been a little nicer. I do notice she has not been back to comment so that tells me she might not be feeling a lot of love. |
If posts leave lots of room for interpretation, aren't you basically doing the same thing to us by assuming we're attacking someone??
Yes we are passionate, but that's only due to the amount of posts that often occur that state "My puppy was 8 weeks came from a puppy store, won't eat or drink.."(bad breeder, broker, whatever the source)
It's a common post here and you'll see the alot the longer you stick around. So, if you're upset by the passion that we have, please understand it for the safety of the dogs and for the protection of the owner, their heart, and their pocket book.
