I know I shouldn't generalize as there are exceptions to every rule, but there's just something inherently disturbing about selling puppies in pet stores. I just don't like it. My general belief is that pet stores that do so belong to a same general group of people who do so for money. They don't all withhold water or food or stick aggressive animals in shared cages, but their underlying purpose remains the same - to sell animals and to gain profit from doing so. With animals, money should be a secondary concern, at least, in a perfect world. Then, again, I'm preaching to the choir
