So You Want To Buy A Puppy At A Pet Store! Now, who would not love a little puppy sitting in the pet store looking so sweet? They are adorable! So what if they were bred in a puppy mill! You are rescuing the poor puppy, right? Who cares about the mother and father dogs still trapped in tiny filthy cages for life?! After all they do feed the dogs.......well...... they feed them as long as they keep producing and then they either kill them there at the facility or drop them along a lonely road. But don't let that bother anyone! A dog should feel privileged to live in a tiny filthy cage pumping out puppies every couple of months so that the lovely people who own the facility can take them away from the mom before they are properly weaned and truck them across the country to some nice well lit store. Only a few babies will die along the way. But don't worry there are plenty where they came from. The ones that live will get cleaned up once they get to the pet store and the owner of the store will start pumping them full of antibiotics and worm medication. They will even give them their puppy shots!
Yeah, many of the pet stores will offer you a convenient payment plan. Just hope your puppy lives longer than the payments do or that you don't need another loan to help with the long term vet bills. Don't forget! If your puppy does get sick you can always take it back for a replacement puppy if you do it within the amount of time stated in your contract. It's just a puppy! You won't mind giving it back to the puppy mill or having it resold in another store!
You know you just may be one the people who gets a puppy that is not sick and does not have kennel cough or parasites. It may not have personality issues or a deformed liver. Maybe it won't have bad knees or hip dysplasia. Maybe you will be the one in a hundred that gets a fairly healthy puppy but you will have just helped the disgustingly foul animal abusers that run the puppy mill. You know, the same people that sit drinking beer while there are hundreds of filthy half starved dogs in the barn hoping that someone will help them. No, you just helped to keep those poor dogs in the most miserable of prisons.
Those puppies in those nice looking pet shops don't need you rescue them. There are many rescues just waiting for the chance to step in to save those puppies. What the puppy's
parents need is someone to put the breeders out of business so that humane groups can go in and take those poor animals out of the torture they live in.
Maybe you don't care and just would rather have the convenience of walking in a nicely lit pet store and plopping down the money for a cute looking puppy anyway, BUT, you are part of the problem if you know that those puppies came from such shameful filthy puppy mills and decided to support that kind of industry anyway.
