| Petland Wow. Was looking for jobs for my sister when my DBF comes across this ad... tells me how perfect it sounds. I asked him if he could spell puppy mill for me. Ridiculous that they advertise like this. No wonder people don't have a clue. Quote:

| Sounds like it could be a lie.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I think they cut off a little bit of the ad. The rest of it should read: Can you lie with a straight face while telling customers that all of our pets come from local breeders and not puppy mills? Can you look the other way when sending home a sick puppy with a little girl who has fallen in love with it? Can you sleep at night knowing that any pets we don't sell during their prime period of cuteness will be put down? If so, do we have an acting job for you!

| Sad Petland Video on Animal Planet tonight I was just watching Animal Planet tonight and saw the absolutely horrific conditions these poor animals have to live in. It is very sad that someone would do this to these defenseless dogs. At least it's being investigated. |

| I was watching that tonight, too. I am glad it is being investigated, too. What floored me was the "network" of the puppy mill breeders who would call other's to warn them about the investigator being around....they didn't even know for sure that is what he was but they sure were paranoid!!!

| Petland I too watched with disgust and dismay the Animal Planet show last night. It looks like P*tl*nd (legal!) will be taken to court and hope that they get their just rewards for the puppy mill dogs they are alleged to sell as private breeders' pups. Will this puppy mill situation never be stopped????? One woman 'breeder' said with no shame that she had 20 dogs PTS as she did not like 'the way they looked'. There was nothing wrong with them. How I feel for these poor innocent animals and their terrible life. |

Poppy's Mamma ♥ Donating Member | I wish I could have watched the program and learn about Petland and such pet shops which sell puppies. In England our pet shops dont sell dogs or cats only fish, reptiles and small animals e.g. rabbits But that dosnt mean that puppy mills dont exist here because they do Hopefully I will be able to catch a replay of it somewhere, its not a nice thing to watch but these programs need to be out there to educate people

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | The Petland in Alpharetta closed last year. I had hoped that meant they had pulled out of GA altogether. Doing some surfing today, I was disappointed to find they are still here. I searched the corporate site and found something I thought was disturbing: Pet Welfare at Petland Petland is aware of the many animal welfare issues in the news today. We know that members of some animal rights groups would have you believe that all pet store puppies are bred and raised in substandard facilities. This is untrue. Petland also disagrees with the agenda of animal rights groups that would deny people the right to own and live with companion pets. Like you, members of the Petland family love pets, and we share your animal welfare concerns. The health and well-being of our pets comes first for each of us at Petland. Petland stores are independently operated by qualified franchisees. Each is responsible for choosing healthy pets offered to Petland customers. Petland, Inc. provides each Petland store with humane care guidelines to assist in this important task Talk about passing the buck. "We don't buy from puppy mills,it's the store owners who do..."
