Reply #113: The Protesters are Right; Pet Stores are Hell for Animals [View All]

[Hidden Stillness]

God, there are some ignorant people on this thread; some surprises, some not. Puppy mills are living hells for the dogs, as the pictures on this thread so clearly illustrate. You can't deny it anymore. There is no socialization, no medical care, no exercise, they do not wait until six weeks to remove puppies from their mothers, they are all crammed together in "money-saving" cages with multiple dogs/puppies in each cage. Many times, dogs will kill each other in the cages for lack of space, food, etc. They are in-bred, and mother dogs are forced to have litter after litter of puppies their whole lives, then killed. It is a life of torment, all of it spent in a small cage, ignored. Get puppies and dogs from shelters or real breeders. Pet stores have no standards against cruelty at all, and are constantly being raided by Humane Law Enforcement for cruel treatment of animals. Pet stores should sell supplies, not lives.
