I will have to agree. My puppy passed away last month. It's just so unreal that businesses can do this without being penalized or being forced to close down. Legislators are aware of the issue and it's a passing of the ball game. You have two sides. The consumer side and the animal welfare side. In the end it's hard to crack down on these places because they have lawyers and technically aren't "breaking" any laws. It's up to us consumers to make a difference by not purchasing from them. That is why I'm sharing what I have learned through my misfortune. I never understood why pet stores had a bad reputation but now I know. I hope others steer away from pet stores and pay a little more to buy from a reputable breeder.
