I think it's like torturing a dog to keep them in a wire cage ....making them stand / sleep and eat on bare wire.... it must hurt so much....
I'm against pet stores but walked into one near where I just moved thinking it was like PEtsmart - they had 5 puppies in a big 'enclosure' (CAGE) but it had NO wires and they actually were playing....but that's not the norm for dogs in cages. |
These puppies were trying to play, but it was pretty hard on the wire. There was one small dog bed in each cage, with about 4-5 pups in each cage. Sure, they would all fit in the one bed because they were VERY tiny, but come on, they couldn't do something to make it more comfortable for them??! I felt sorry for them and wanted to scoop them up and take them home.
I normally don't go into pet stores that sell puppies, and I never buy anything in them. I was in Sears (next door) and wanted to check out the pet store since it's fairly new. I didn't even realize they sold puppies until I got in there. I checked their website and called to ask questions. The guy told me they get all their puppies from local private breeders, no puppy mills or farms. Yeah, I bet they do.
