I do thank those of you that have tried to answer the question. |
We ARE answering your question. And the answer is, there is nothing that concerned parties can do SPECIFICALLY for that SPECIFIC dog sitting there in the pet shop that WILL NOT SUPPORT THE CYCLE. ANY amount of money going into the breeders/mills pockets will only ENCOURAGE THEM TO BREED MORE.
BUYING AN ANIMAL IN A PETSTORE IS NOT RESCUING THEM, IT'S JUST PUTTING MORE AND MORE ANIMALS IN THAT SAME SITUATION. The good news is, if you're so worried about what will happen to those animals.....you don't have to be. The question you're asking is unnecessary....there will ALWAYS be ignorant (willfully, or innocently) people who will make impulsive petshop buys. There is NO NEED to "worry" about what will happen to those animals. If you don't buy them, someone else will. So I don't really understand the concern or the question????
