I know a lot of people (including myself) who have gotten several wonderful healthy pets at pet stores.
I hate puppymills as much as anyone. And, they need to be shut down. For the life of me - I can't understand why it is so hard to shut puppymills down. Just what is the problem - and why can't it be fixed!!!!!
I feel that once the little puppies are in the stores (and I know for a fact that all of them do not come from puppymills) - but whether or not - they are all entitled to good loving homes. I would never fault a person for taking one of these little puppies home.
**** I know everyone says that if we stop buying puppies at pet stores - the puppymills will go out of business. I don't agree with this at all. I think we have to go to the source -to the puppymills themselves, and shut them down. Trying to make any effect after these little puppies are already in stores as far as I'm concerned - is too late! The puppies in these stores need homes.
