lol I know alot of people here seem to be against pet stores, and some pet stores I don't like either. But I don't see anything wrong with buying animals from the petstores, because think of it. If everyone went on strike and never bought from the pet stores, then the animals at the pet stores would never get a home. Either way you look at it, one of them doesn't get a home. I think that people should look into both pet stores and animal shades to make it fair.
I must disagree. True they don't get homes (for this I will use dogs) A puppy sitting in the store looking all sad. But think of where it came from. Most come from puppymills. Where the mother is bred and bred and bre, laying in her own feces, fighting other dogs for food, maybe not even getting food at all, dirty or no water, never getting human attention , never going to the vet, getting beaten.having absesses wich are common because of their living conditions having the pain from those absesses sometimes not being able to lay down from pain. The puppy gets taken away from the mom early so by the time he gets to the pet store he is old enough to be sold. On the way to the store one of it's brothers or sisters die from the living conditions and not being cared for. The little puppy it'self is sick and weak ,nervous and scared. By buying that puppy you are making it so that the mom is bred again right after having those puppies.Your making it so that she has to go through more pain and suffering. If you didnt buy the puppy it would stay in the store. The dogs would stop being bred because the other puppies aren't selling.
The mom would either be put of of her misery or taken to a shelter.
There would be no more puppies dying in the cold no more dogs suffering. So to make a change that big it all gose back to not buying that puppy and supporting the pet store. Yes the puppies need homes to but some will have to suffer in order to save the rest.

This is what they have to endour in order to produce those puppies.
Now rabbit's can be just as bad. Cramed up in little cages where they can't even turn around or lay. They get no hay maybe a handful of those stinkin pellets. They sit on wire cages and get what is called sore hocks. There fur is dirty and matted. Their nails and teeth are so long that they curl. Once again absess form. Causing pain especially if one pops. Never any veggies. Laying in their own feces. And the same thing gose on for the rabbits as the dogs. You buy on from the pet store and you keep the other ones coming. It's a vecious never ending cycle.

I'm not saying your terrible for buying one from a pet store and I know how you can just fall in love sometimes.
It's just next time if your out looking for a bunny to look in shelters and stuff first.

Kt I'm sure you knew already most of what I said because you deal with cats and stuff , I was just trying to mainly expalin what I ment to Kalie. Sorry not trying to single you out.
