The Trouble with Pet Stores
Where do
those puppies and kittens come from? I asked at a local pet
store, and they wouldn't tell me. According to the
Human Society, we should be skeptical of any claims that they
don't come from puppy mills. According to the
American Kennel Club, you should buy a dog directly from the
breeder, so you can inspect their premises and ask questions,
instead of buying from a pet store. Most pet stores agree that
selling puppies and kittens is not the right thing to do. The
City of
West Hollywood recently passed a
law
banning this practice. Sign the petition and ask the City of
Burien to take the lead in animal welfare.
