Anyone Considering Getting A Puppy Or Other Pet From A Pet Store?

Do not buy a pet or pet supplies at a pet store that sell animals! Petstore puppies come from puppy mills and backyard breeders. Get your pet from a shelter or responsible breeder.

    pet stores are in the business of making profit…they are not in the business of caring for animals..

    they buy pups for the CHEAPEST possible price and sell them for the HIGHEST possible price.. anyone who doesnt understand that is an idiot!

    some people think they are “rescuing” pups when the buy from stores.. but infact they are rewarding cruelty and paying for it to continue…

    I wouldnt buy ANY pet..big or small, from a pet store!

    Okay, as much as I agree with you. That is wrong, but I bought both my cats from a pet shop, and I have no doubt they are kitten mill kittens, but they are both great. I am happy that I gave them a home. (:

    I agree. All of these people that LIE to themselves and continue to tell themselves that they did a good thing by saving a life from buying from these awful places need to be slapped with reality!
    For every life they “save” they have convicted an average of 6 more to death plus have directly contributed to the ongoing torture and abuse of the parent animal.
    Every animal sold will mean another litter bred.. 1/4 of which never live to get to a petstore.
    Way to go petstore champions… If it ever comes to human decisions PLEASE don’t save my child so that countless more can be born into hell and for many go on to lead sickly shortened lives where they have already been touched by chaos and despair!
