A New Pet store opened up near my home, it does NOT look good. - YorkieTalk.com Forums

We were driving along tonight and saw a brand new pet store that probably only opened a few days ago.

I only saw it from the outside so far, but it doesn't look good. The walls are all LINED with cages. The cages are SO small, it looks like there's just enough room for them to stand up and turn around. From what I saw there are like 25 different breeds. Its called the "Puppy Shoppe" . I hate this, I just want to go in there and scream at them and ask them what the heck is going through their minds that they would put innocent dogs through this kind of torture.

Aww poor babies. I guess they opened up just in time for Christmas huh? If you go in, let us know what it's like okay? I hope and pray that it's not successful.

keep in mind that the people that work there are usually kids trying to get a job ANYWHERE.... otherwise..... if it is the OWNER.. have at it!

I know how you feel too, we went to teh mall today and there were some really SICK looking puppies

true...true...I'll have to work on containing myself then blow when the owner comes out.

The owner of the pet store we got Bandit from, whenver my parents had to go back to the store (to get the check, argue whatever) they wouldn't let me go with them. I guess they knew we'd all probably end up in jail.

Megan I will come over and we will protest outside ok? Then we can go to jail together! Okay I'm kidding (tell your mom that)! How frustrating for you, maybe there is something we can do!

Megan, go and inspect the place. Surely, if the conditions are not safe for the dogs, the place can be reported...sneak in a camera phone or something that you can take pictures with.

Or, you can always call PETA for backup!

That is sooo sad!

I hope they don't stay in business long!

Megan, that is too bad. Pet Shops are showing up everywhere. It seems like the
minute you close one down another pops up. The cages should be clean, the small
dogs should have a mat on part of the wire so their little legs don't fall through and
they should have a toy to take their minds off the longs hrs. Did you see "wicked"
yet??

And they should just not be there at all! But you're right, if they're going to be there can they at LEAST make them comfortable!?

I'm going to see Wicked on Jan. 10th
