Oh, it is so sad! I went into a petland today and once I got in there I knew I shouldn't have gone
They had puppies, 2-3 in a 2 foot by 2 foot pen with wall panneling on the back and glass windows on the front. They were on grates with feces on them and one dog was eating its own feces. The yorkies they had there looked mangy and were just laying down and wouldn't even come to the window when I came up and their Maltese was hacking so bad
There was also a miniature pincher in with a bichon and they were fighting, I think it was because the cage was too small. It smelled terrible in their like dirty animals and I just felt so bad for all of the animals there, the birds, the dogs, everything...it made me want to cry
I came home and looked up petland online and found this:

Can you believe how many people have bought sick pets from there?It's so hard, a part of me wishes I could go buy them all and take them away but in doing that it'd just be funding what they do...then again, its like what happens to them if they don't get bought? Its a vicious cycle
