 Hello Friend,
I have NEVER been a 'fan' of Pet Stores
selling companion animals-
In fact I have seen an INORDINATE number of
seriously ILL and chronically sick puppies and
kittens that came from Pet Stores.
MOST of the Pet Stores are supplied with pets
from less than ethical breeders..ie Puppy Mills.
These are people who ONLY breed for profit, and
could care less about genetic/health concerns.
On top of this, the Pet Stores are ONLY selling
these animals for PROFIT, and to get you as
a consumer to respond to IMPULSE.
......
As most of you know, being a pet owner is
a serious life long commitment- not something
to be entered into lightly, yet this is OFTEN
what happens with Pet Store puppies.
And then guess where many of these IMPULSE pets
end up at?
......Right
An Animal Shelter.
They just get dumped again.
I also see this at the Second Chance Animal
Shelter next to my former Veterinary Practice.
..SO I started on this rant after reading
a disturbing story about Petland- they were accused
of scheming to sell sick puppies...Surprise...
Here is a section of the story:
--------------------------------------------------------
PetLand Scheme to Sell Sick Puppies
--------------------------------------------------------
An animal protection group has accused the Petland Inc.
pet store chain of scheming to sell sick puppies bred in
filthy conditions to thousands of unsuspecting people.
Petland intentionally misled thousands of customers into
believing the puppies came from the finest breeders and
were healthy, the Humane Society of the United States
said in a lawsuit against the company, which is based in
Chillicothe, Ohio.
The group said it conducted an investigation showing that
many of the puppies sold by Petland in its 131 U.S. stores
were bred in mills in horrific conditions or through brokers
such as The Hunte Corp., based in Goodman, Mo. Investigators
for the Humane Society saw "puppies living in filthy, barren
cages reeking of urine, with inadequate care and socialization,"
the complaint said.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
P.S. SO if you *really* want a new pet, AVOID the Pet Stores,
and encourage others to do so as well. IF we as consumers
just STOPPED, then the Pet Stores would be out of business.
P.P.S. If you happen to have one of these sick or ill
puppies or kittens, ( or any sick dog or cat)- then
you should have a peek at my MANUAL, Veterinary Secrets Revealed. I now have nearly 2000 Safe, Natural and Effective
