Reply #22: Awesome! Keep up the good work, protesters!!!! [View All]

I've attended numerous petstore protests, Petland being the most infamous. The pet stores not only enable the abuse of dogs and cats via the purchase of puppies from mills (Google Hunte Corporation and see what you find), but they also stifle adoption from shelters and rescues. 5 million (on the low side) animals euthanized in our nations shelters due to surplus, and these fucks sell puppies. Genius.

Additionally, because of poor breeding practices, MANY people are left heartbroken and financially hurt because of illness (both genetic and contagious) that the animals develop. Try getting a pet store to pay. Some laws say that they can "replace" the pet with a different puppy...at a certain cost of the sick pups life.

Also, if anyone knew the fucking toll that this industry takes on purebreed rescue, one might think again. Where do you think many of these animals wind up when they're 3 years old and dysplastic? Blind? That's right...rescue, because most breeders don't want them and the petstores don't give a shit.

Don't breed or buy while homeless animals die.
