thanks to everyone for sharing this information. i did not hear or know about safari stan's. there's a petland in naperville, il very close to where i work. every weekend they have someone holding signs saying "puppy sale." i cannot help but to give them my opinion about their store's practices. most customers that come in to my work are fully aware of them getting their pups from mills and express their opinions about it as well. my boss refused to let the petland employees leave $100 off a new puppy coupons at our front desk due to comments and complaints from our guests. the one near my home in joliet, il was shut down for a while. i'm not sure why but i could make some guesses. there is a steady group of regular protesters there now that they are open again. it makes me feel better that the word is getting out about petland!
to find out what the humane society of the us investigation revealed about petland stores in your area or to learn more, this is a great read. you can look up all violations that were found in each store by state and or city:
