Hmmm...

I don't believe in making pet stores stop selling puppies and kittens, but I do believe that mills should be stopped. That's why I believe that a responsible pet store manager should know the people who supply puppies. Who's to say they aren't just backyard breeders? No, that's not so good either, but it's better than a mill. If I owned a petshop, I would visit every breeder and inspect their animals and living quarters...if I did not like what I saw, then I would not get my animals from there and I would spread the word to all other places.

Unfortunatly, most petshops are blinded by consumer consumption and couldn't care less

But I just don't understand why the puppies and kittens shouldn't be there, and yet other animals can...there are sooo many mills for rats and gerbils and mice, and they don't seem to be mentioned.

They do sell dogs at our spca, but the petshops here take waaay better care then their dogs then they do...the SPCA here is terrible
