| Ringo, MissLissa, Chachi, & Perella You all have made great posts to this thread... We can all relate in a way as far as what we would do and what must be done... BYB's and Mills must be stopped. I am so glad that you all have told your stories and gave all the readers a better insight about what should be done. Thank you for contributing so much!

| I wanted to add my next though on this thread-I definitely could say no to a pup...but I'd really question my ability to walking away from an older dog-I'd know it had worse odds of finding a loving home either through purchase, pound or rescue... I've broken wing syndrome-if something is broken and mangled and emotionally scarred (ugly beyond belief tends to be a real deal maker for me too) I'll want to take it home and love it. I've had two "rescue" chinchillas, one brought to a pet store I shop at that doesn't sell (now they get them from a responsible breeder and sell to homes via an adoption process) them but the owner (of the store) couldn't say no to taking it-the ppl bought it at a pet store in the city and their child was cruel to it and they made the semi responsible decision to re-home it-of course they just walked into a pet store and said here you deal with him he's half bald now from stress and under fed...instead of taking him to a vet immediately. I was the second person to come in the store that day... A bit north from me a chin farm was shut down by animal control (I think the health department too maybe) and I took in one of the chins that had been used for breeding; they breed them for babies to sell and then used them for fur...so I kind of by default stepped into the chin farm scene and became aware...chinchillas have very specific needs and are the most docile and wonderful pets...but can be very sensitive to their needs not being met-they are semi-high maintenance pets but especially for being rodents, and once you understand their needs and why when you see one without their needs met-it's so sickening.
