I think its a good idea to stop puppy mills, I got Maya maltese from a pet store and wasnt completely aware of the operations that occur and was more concerned in the fact that I did feel like I was rescuing a cute and sad looking maltese. Thank goodness Pat (yorkierose) opened my eyes to the perils of buying from a pet store when I could have bought from a good breeder like her for the same price or less, she made me realize that there is no justification when I kept making excuses. Its also scary the health effects that can come from a puppy mill dog, so far I have been lucky with maya. I didnt get a chance to read this but I agree we need to stop puppy mills. |
