Petland is , which, a large embosses pet store privilege, whose reason for many shifted is to make a profit by selling as many companion animals as possible. While in recent years its different one pet store s toward for the sale supplies only--inviting non-profit rescue groups into their stores to adopt out homeless animals--Petland sells intentionally bred puppies, kittens, rabbits, birds, chinchillas, ferrets, and many other animals, with flagrant disregard for the tremendous animal suffering that this causes.

If you have a little more time, you can mention one or more of the following, plus any personal stories or other information you wish to include: 1) The simplest way for an individual to stop puppy mills is to stop buying a puppy pet store to s, breeder web site and newspaper of ADS. 2) Instead of buying animals at all, adopt an animal from a shelter or rescue group and help end the terrible homeless animal crisis that results in the slaughter of over 10,000 dogs, cats, and other animals in U.S. shelters EVERY DAY. 3) The article had one point that we would disagree with.
