Here we go ...it's not extreme - it's true - and Kim - you can defend Pet Stores all you want - I said what I said ...and I disagree with you... but I know this will lead nowhere.

Too many people have no idea where pet store animals come from - you can defend them all you want ....but they DO BUY FROM MILLS - they are the biggest clients mills have. I see you're also defending Mills in your last sentence....Why would anyone defend animal abuse ?

My own FAMILY didn't even know what puppy mills were and how pet stores get their animals till I got yorkies 3 years ago - Most people who shop in a PET STORE WILL NOT RESEARCH THAT STORE - they want the puppy right away - it's hard to see past the suffering and the need to save that one puppy is very strong.

I'm not a fanatic - OF COURSE there's going to be that one or 2 stores that really care - but do you really think anyone is going to delve into their business practices in real life ?

the new member Debr who posted this thread is rare... and I commend her - but the reality is... pet stores exploit animals.
