| Yes, I did see it. But the one I saw, had a petition to sign against them, so I did. They said they didn't buy from puppy mills, but they got caught! |

| I guess there are a few USDA breeders that are probably a little upset now |

| Hmmm. We had a Petland close to here, but it closed down a few yrs ago. I didn't know they were still around. I am glad they are finally doing something!!

| Not exactly a shocker on this one. There's a Petland in one of our malls here and it just kills me to go in. I just think back to a few years ago when I didn't know any better and would go in there, play with a puppy, and wish I could take one home. We actually went inside yesterday, looking to see if they had dog sweaters to actually fit Zoe. There were so many dogs, and more than half looked off or sick! We saw 3 Yorkies and it was so bad. My boyfriend, who's oblivious to everything, commented on how bad they were. What makes it worse is that the majority of everyone I know that owns a pet in town (as limited as the numbers may be) got their dog from Petland. But with stories like this people might finally get the message. |
