we have Petlands out here and they make me sick... another few are Foxmill pets and Dreamy Puppies... not sure how many of you remember a thread I posted a while back ago about Dreamy Puppies... let's just say that I ended up going inside and was sickened. Tons of small breed puppies in cages pooping and peeing all over themselves. They had mixed litters in the same cages together. One of the guys running the place tried to tell me one pup was a shih tzu when it was CLEARLY a smooth coat daschund and an extremely poorly bred one at that.
Two puppies started to scrap and the guy had to run into the back in order to stop them since the doors to open the cages were in the back. When he opened the back door I saw what looks like a warehouse in the back of the store that had cages upon cages of puppies. I made a point to start educating anyone that came in about puppy mills and encouraging them not to buy. They kicked me out and said I wasn't welcome back. So... I stood outside and continued to talk to people as they were walking up to the store.
Needless to say I'll be back and that darn puppymill isn't going to be too happy to see me there.
