I wish it would be made illegal to have pet stores. I tear up when I see those poor little babies in a cage. Yesterday I was at a pet store and there were yorkies, chihuahuas, and many other breeds, most of them only 6 weeks old..far too young to be away from their mother. Breaks my heart. By buying from a petstore yes, you are supporting the puppy mills, but also...these animals are innocent. They have no control over being born to a breeder or being born to a puppy mill or pet store. I feel that they need a loving home just as much as the others do. If petstores were made illegal, that would end the never ending battle I have within myself. I do feel that pet stores support puppy mills and that is very wrong, however, I also feel that the animal needs love and warmth no matter how they were brought into the world. |
