Puppies stolen from Chicago area pet store

Sad, but at least they arent stuck in a pet tore tiny cage now..
I thought the story was going to say someone took them to rescue them from the store.

It's getting rougher around here," she said. "We're thinking it's time to look for another neighborhood

Or maybe they should just close down and never sell puppies again.

seems funny none of the security measures were working (cameras, alarm), makes me wonder if the owner had someone do it. Can you claim puppies through insurance? Would make a bit of money for here, sell her own dogs on the black market, claim insurance, plus a nice bit of publicity about her store getting robbed.

I would REALLY hope noone would be sick enough to do that.

Not much of an update, but at least Illinois regulates pet stores:

The state licenses pet stores and inspects them every year to insure the animals are taken care of. When looking for a pet, state officials recommend looking for the state license of the store, or for a private sale, check the seller's set up.

Oh how sad... I hope the puppies are still alive and will be taken care of.
