I didnt sign because this will not stop puppy mills, it will increase them..

[sarahevans742]

why do you think that?

[tikeyas_mom]

because without petstores there owuld be more puppy mills. think about it.. They would get sooo much more buisness.

I also know lotsa resptual pet stores that sell good puppies around here and kittens. I also know ppl who have bought these animals and they turned out great. I dont think it is any use or have a positive ending if petstores are bannded from selling puppies & kittens.

[sarahevans742]

I disagree, Tikeya's mom. People do NOT buy dogs directly from "puppy mills," they are only suplliers for pet stores and chain stores. You can just drive up to a puppy mill and say "I'd like a German Shepherd, please." Puppy mills are disgusting, awful places, and the public ois not allowed near them. How would you think banning pet stores from selling puppy- and kitten-mills products would mean more business for the puppy mills?

[tikeyas_mom]

Hi karen good point, the pet stores here do not take puppie or kittens from mills, they take them from breeders. Puppy mills are againts the law here, so we dont have to worri about it. good breeders supply our petstores, I didnt know pet stores where you live get there pets from mills. they must not be very good stores, eh?

[Karen]

Puppy mill owners would not call themselves that, they would call themselves breeders. How do you know where your pet stores get their pups? Would they give you the breeder's contact information if you asked? Are the breeders local or are the pups shipped to them? Do they visit the breeder's homes to make sure conditions are healthy?


I do not visit many pet stores that sell dogs and cats. There is a small pet store, not a chain store, that does near me, but I have not asked where they get their pups. They have a policy that no pup is ever "too big," and they ask a lot of questions of potential owners, that I do know, and the pups in the stores seem healthy and are not in cages, they are in play areas with wodden, not wire floors, lots of soft bedding, and there are often a few puppies out running around the store. So they at least treat the pups humanely, though, as I said, I have not asked where they get them from.

[tikeyas_mom]

they get them from local ppl, I asked. When the breeders have the pups born they are sold to the petstore ONLY if they are not solf right away in the papers. They are all regested upto date with shots and have tattoos. There is also pet store that sells pets from the shelter, It is kinda a deal thing they have goin on, it is kinda cool.

And.... You know they weren't lying, how?
