Please Dont But Your Pets At Petland

[catmandu]

PET LAND IS THE LARGEST CHAIN OF STORES IN THE US AND CANADA THAT SELL PUPPIES AND KITTENS.
AND BECAUSE THEY ARE IN LARGE HIGH PROFILE MALLS WHERE THE RENTS ARE HIGH, THEY WILL SELL AT THE HIGHEST PRICE THEY CAN.
WHICH IS HOW BUSINESS IS DONE, BUT THEY HAVE AN OBLIGATION AS THEY ARE DEALING WITH LIVING BEINGS , TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ANIMALS THEY SELL ARE AS HEALTHY AS POSSIBLE.
IN TOO MANY INSTANCES THIS IS NOT DONE, AND THERE ARE SAD STORIES OF PETLAND ANIMALS BEING SERIOUSLY ILL, AND DYING OR NEEDING EXPENSIVE VET CARE.
A CAT OR DOG ARE NOT CONSUMER GOOD , THEY ARE CREATURES OF OUR LORD GOD AS WE ARE, AND DESEREVE A LOT MORE RESPECT.

I have never heard of Petland; they aren't in my area, I just checked (Mid-Atlantic, USA). It wouldn't even occur to me to actually purchase a pet from one of those stores - that being said; there are cats from last chance rescue missions that are available at Petsmart in our area. I do firmly recommend that if anyone can take in pets, these babies (of all ages) NEED HOMES! They have been taken from kill shelters and have no more options available. It breaks my heart every time I go in (and I have to, it's the only place I can get Science Diet), but I can't adopt any others. So, please, if you can, help those babies! They need love!

ABSOLUTLEY THE ANIMALS AT PETSMART ARE HEALTHY , AND COME FROM SHELTERS AND FOSTER HOMES WHERE AT A REASONABLE PRICE, YOU CAN FIND A WONDERFUL COMPANION
THE PETS SOLD AT PETLAND ARE ADVERTISED AS PURE BRED, ALTHOUGH YOU GET NO PROOF, THE ANIMALS ARE OFTEN ILL, AND THEY CHARGE WHAT THEY THINK WHAT THE MARKET WILL BEAR.
THEY ARE AFTER THE MONEY , AND DONT CARE AT ALL FOR THE ANIMLAS OR CUSTOMERS

Ditto! I adopted Zerlina from a Petsmart adoption center. They do rotating adoption events with rescue groups in our area. AAAAAANNNNNDD.... Petsmart gives the lucky adoptive purrent lots and lots of coupons!
