Puppy mills are there we all know this we know the harsh conditions these animals suffer just for a quick buck so why not buy that puppy and put an end to his/her suffering. I don't know about anyone else but if I were a puppy that came from the mill and is now in the pet store, I would pray for a loving family to come rescue me and end my struggle. I believe a sick puppy would rather spend his last few days here in the company of people who love and care for him/her. I have a question to those people who want to boycott these Pet Stores. If tomorrow came and the boycott was successful, and all Pet Store and Puppy Mills were out of business then what? Would you contribute in any way to rescue the thousands of animals that were left behind? If so how? |
I would love to adopt an animal from a shelter. If the petstores had to give up all their puppies, of course I would take one. I would love to take more, but I don't think bf will allow that right now. I would even adopt a dog from a puppymill, depending on the special needs because I don't know if I would have the time, and financial resources to care for him/her.
