Do you think this was wrong of me?

Puppy Mills are very sticky situations. You'd hate to see what would happen to the puppies if you don't buy them, but if you DO, then you're supporting the puppy mill. Personally, I believe all dogs need saving. All dogs who were not bred for the best of the breed should not have been bred. So, all dogs except from reputable breeders need saving.

I don't think it was wrong of you.

Being the immature person I am, I probably would have said more. Good for you for leaving it at that. I think that was very good of you to say it.

I don't think you are wrong but perhaps you can find more efective and meaningful ways to get your message heard and/or make a difference. The folks who frequent pet stores (remember - you were there and have since gone back) will continue to do so.

Perhaps you can get a job with a rescue group - or start one. Advertise and compete against those puppy mill pet stores and spread the word with literature and invitations to come see your beautiful babies.

Uhh I'm too young to do any of that...lol

But it's illegal here to work so young, I'm guessing that there is a law against that where you are too?

Uhh I'm too young to do any of that...lol

But you weren't to young to work at the petstore!

[Kfamr]

You're never too young to start making a difference.

It is against the law for any establishment to hire a 10 year old, even as a volunteer.

Yup! It took me forever to think of what a 13 yr old could do to help spread puppy mill awareness, and BYB awareness, but I thought of something!

Exactly that is why this place is so bad and they have never been caught for it yet

But your heart is in the right place. Maybe something to aspire to at a later date. Unfortuneatly, it is hard to devote your time to these causes on a full time basis. God bless those who have and do... they are greatly appreciated but rarely personally thanked!!!

Honestly, I find this very unbelievable Why would the petstore risk being shut down for hiring a ten year old employee! It sounds like a awful place! Why would your parents even approve of you working at the age of 10, especially when it's illegal?!!

[buttercup132]

I dont know why they would let me

[Alysser]

That must be a really bad place if they actually hired a ten year old. My parents won't even let me volunteer yet. I have to be fourteen. I thirteen. Parents....

[Flatcoatluver]

I know my boss had to fight and beg and turn in so many papers, just so I can work there, and i am 15.

[Alysser]

OMG! Briana, I feel bad for you. I just got the privelige of going and can't live without it lol.

[lv4dogs]

I don't think that was wrong of you, boy when I am in pet stores that sell any animals from mills (or even if they are in bad condition) I say WAY MORE than that. (insert evil but happy smiley here) I can get everyone away from the animals and out looking for a reputable breeder within 10 minutes.

[I_luv_rusty]

I don't, I'm rather embrassed between Alyssa going omg saying stuff real loud, like she said, and if I were to say something I'd be even more embrassed. Alyssa embrasses me good enough though lol
