Do they feel hot and she said here u feel and so i felt of them and they felt ok. i said well u only have one ice pack u need to have to so she made another one. she was really afraid i was going to get her in trouble. i told her i come here every saturday i better never see those babies like that agian. and she just walked away. I hate how people care more about money then they do the well being of the dog. it makes me so mad..

Atta boy, girl! Way to go.

Kudos to you for standing up for them!

Flea markets make me so mad. I wish they would outlaw the selling of animals! I can't even go to the animal part of the flea market here. The animals look so sick and hot. i want to take them all home.

Was this flea market jockey lot in Anderson? If so, the shelter I volunteered for used to get a lot of animals that didn't sell that ppl had left at the end of the day.

she was selling them for 800. if i had that kind of money i would have got them both. it was so sad i cryed all the way home and when i got home i just held my yorkie and was glad that i had him and he dont have to worry about being in a bad situation. He is loved at my house. but it really made me mad and thats what i said to her how would u feel being out in this heat and not haveing something to drink i dont know if those puppys knew to drink out of the water bowl.

Way to go Connieb! You're a gal after my own heart, I woulda done the exact same thing!

I'd be writing the Humane Society and the ASPCA - that sounds awful for those poor dogs and the laws need to be changed where this isn't allowed - Those poor poor puppies - laying on ice packs ? OMG that's got to be so uncomfortable for them - I'd like to take that woman and put HER on an icepack

It should be illegal to sell animals at flea markets. Their always in those bad condtions, not to mention a million people touch them. We went to an inside flea market that was air conditioned, and a women was selling birds. My hubby was intrigued, and really wanted one. I said "no way". Those birds were touched, and tormented by every little kid that went by, as well as adults. If I purchase an animal I want to know the owner keeps them as safe as possible.

connieb · 08-14-2007, 04:49 AM

i still want to cry when i think about it and she thought ice packs was a great idea and i was like how about u lay on a ice pack and she rolled her eyes at me i was like whatever.
