This will make you cry!!!

If buyers would not buy from petland or puppy farms all things thing would stop. I would recommend reputable breeders as the best chocie

I heard this a long time ago, too. All of my pets were strays that we found and a few that people could not keep so we took them in, other than hamsters and birds that we bought from a small, local pet shop. If I had just found out, it would keep me from going there and I would also be writing letters to them, if I had been a customer. Once again, money is more important than ethics.

Well if they have proof then they must have done it and this is awful - shame on them! I always thought "PetLand" was one of the few places that you could trust and had the animals best interest at heart. I am shocked to hear this.

We do not have any PetLand's around here that I know of. I think everyone involved needs to be put behind bars for doing that to those poor animals. We do have a PetSmart here and they bring in a few cats and dogs ever so often from the Humane Society for adoption.

I have watched the video and it is really upsetting to see dogs and puppies in a terrible condition. Petland should be out of the business permanently and should be in jail the people who owns Petland.

Hi LadyMarissa, Words failed me, I think is disgusting, why are people doing these things? the govermant should do something about it, I am glad we don't have any thing like taht here and as we are a nation of dogs lover we never trat animal like that, if anyone was found ill treating dogs the could be put in prison and we have R.S.P.C.A that looks after animals that are ill treated and we also have dogs shelter, they are in every town. We don't let that sort of things happen here. I am so angry!!!. Tamara

I'm not surprised. I think most pet shops - even the small mom & pop stores - buy from puppy mills. I think it's disgusting.

There are no Petland's in my area. I actually had never heard of them until Grandpa Bob posted a discussion about it prior to this one. I think it's horrible and they should be shut down and arrested.

I love pets. I'm just not familiar with petland so I can't really say some words.

That is so sad and disgusting ;( I can't even watch that. It reminds me of some of the terrible videos from www.peta.com. IAMS pet food treats it's test animals in a similar fashion. And people wonder why I prefer animals to people. Human is the only animal that tortures and kills for pleasure! I have to go hug and kiss my cats right now, my heart hurts so badly for all those animals out there who aren't as fortunate as mine are. You were right, I am crying ;(

Are those the mall stores? Those things need shut down anyway. Charging 900 bucks for a puppy just because it has a 100 dollar microchip in it is absurd. Not to mention keeping them in those tiny glass boxes surrounded by their own poop. Im not sure why getting puppies from mills is a bad thing unless they employ the mills. They may look at it as saving them from that situation to place them in better homes, the humane society gets their puppies from mills and resells them . . . I disagre completely with the practice as an avid dog lover but id rather see them in a store to be placed than in a pen w/ thousands of other dogs waiting to be raised to breed. I dont think people realize how much blood is shed for them to be able to have "nice" things, diamonds, purebred dogs, fancy food, so much harm done to cater to people with money.
