Petland

Thank you! I've been waiting for it to become a streaming video.

I'm watching it right now, and they're talking to a Petland employee. I find what she says very interesting. She said, "puppymills are places where they keep the dogs in little cages" or something to that extent. Um.... isn't that what they do in Petland stores? Aren't all the puppies in small cages 2 or 3 dogs crammed in one cage at a time?

There have been many exposes on Petland over the past few years, Dateline had a segment dedicated to puppymills and Petland was included in that, but there is just not enough exposure about them to get to all the people. When people go into those shops and see those cute little faces they just can't resist them. That is what Petland counts on. People are starting to get educated on where the puppies come from, that is what is causing some of them to close. The rescues, and breeders are out there informing potencial pet owners about the health hazards of those poor babies, and the torture that the parents of the puppies endure.

This is just one unfortunate symptom of a larger problem. People don't ask questions because they don't want to know the answers. Simple as that. It's why most people eat junk, feed their dogs junk & buy puppy mill puppies.

I hope that in the coming years we can find a way to make people more aware of where those cute little pups in cribs & cages really come from. After all, it wasn't too long ago that many of us were oblivious too (ahem me). Because while the educated won't buy from these mills there are plenty of people who will, so right now we need the law to protect these babies.

Ok thats my rant. On a side note I'd really like to see this Petland investigation on Animal Planet.

No problem! I missed it on TV, so I went on a desperate search to find it online to watch and share with everyone

Our Petland shut down.

I'm watching the video and it is BREAKING my heart. How do people do that to dogs? To any creatures? How?

[2Morkies]

We have one petstore that sells puppies It's a private petstore and they "say" they come from a breeder, but we all know what that means...

I wonder if they've ever opened Petland one morning or anyother petstore that sells puppies and discoverd deceased puppies??
Sooo sad

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking when I watched those. I was like, "What do you call those glass boxes you keep the dogs in? I'm pretty sure that's a cage!"

I wanted to go in there and be like, "SEE THOSE DOGS STANDING ON THE TEENY FREAKIN' MAT? IT'S CAUSE THAT WIRE HURTS THEIR FEET!" Then smash all the cages and take the poor babies away!
