Re: For all those who condone Puppy Mills/Pet Stores...
this actually made me cry just then....this is absolutely disgusting...i believe a person who does such a thing's punishment should be to be treated exactly the way the animals were treated...A$$HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bumping for those who are not convinced and would still buy from a pet store.

Re: For all those who condone Puppy Mills/Pet Stores...
HOW HORRIBLE. I wish people would not get defensive. Instead just learn and if you really care about your dog, or animals as beautiful creatures with feelings, who feel pain and sadness, then do NOT BUY from any puppy store.

I just want you and anyone else who has gotten their dog at a pet store to understand that...
This is not about the animal you have now. If you didn't know about pet stores before you got your pet that is TOTALLY understandable.
This is about education.
Now that you know this happens you and others may not run to a pet store for a pet the next time.
All I want to do is educate people for the future.
My first dog ( a Dobie) was from a pet store...almost all of us have made the mistake. But as we educate ourselves maybe we can prevent this trend from continuing and help these poor dogs in the mills.
I think this post sums it all up, and makes the greatest points about why some try to educate.

Re: For all those who condone Puppy Mills/Pet Stores...
I always go into the pet stores to SEE the animals but I would NEVER buy one. I saw a show on PM's years ago & will NEVER EVER buy one and I tell people about them when I can. So sad.

They are looked at us a source of income because people BUY them. When you stop buying from PET STORES they are no longer a source of income and you begin to put mills out of business.

One of the easiest things to do is boycott pet stores that sell dogs. And TELL them why you are boycotting them.

Bravo to your post! I too learned a tremendous amt from these ladies as well. Things that never crossed my mind otherwise and I appreciate the education. If it can save one mill mommy dog, or pup, then it is a job well done. I don't understand why people can't just accept the education and the facts, and if they are true animal lovers, simply take it as education.
I would like to think that if someone loves animals enough to want to adopt one/buy one, etc, then they should also care enough to want to know what they can do to help other animals like the very one they love....and that is not buying from a pet store.
It just allows other dogs, esp mother dogs, who deserve love and care such as your doggie does, to live a painful, torturous horrible life.

Re: For all those who condone Puppy Mills/Pet Stores...
Thank you all for bumping this post...as I said in my original post My first dog was purchased at a pet store and had some health issues.
I only wish to educate those who haven't gotten a dog yet or helping to prevent them from buying a new puppy at a pet store.

Re: For all those who condone Puppy Mills/Pet Stores...
My stepdad started a newsletter for a pet forum about not buying animals just for the Holidays. About the commitments of a dog are (how many years, expenses and time to be spent with them, etc...).
My sister just found out that one of her friend is using her dog (the friend's dog) as a source of income. She told her that if she is low on cash, she just had her female get PG and she sells the puppy. That's disgusting! Just to buy herself more clothes! :(
I bought my dogs at a puppy store but they had good reviews. I hope they do not participate in such thing.

I wanted to add some pics to this thread to give you an idea of how the parents of the puppies in pet stores are treated....
the last pic is a Weimeraner - compare that to my dog. Image Attachment(s):

And instead of looking at us, those who try to spread the word, look at themselves and see why they aren't interested in the words we are spreading. And then question if they really love animals or really just love getting what they want, when they want.

Re: For all those who condone Puppy Mills/Pet Stores...
That is exactly on target, they are getting what they want, just like buying shoes or jewelry...they need to look at the Weim mother, skin and bones...always nursing, always pregnant. To the post that hoped the pet store she bought from was not one of them, sadly they all are.
