Store Bought Pets
Have you ever bough and or looked at an animal in pet stores?
Im sure you though that they were cute and thought that since they were in a pet store they were being taken good care of.  However, its just the opposite.  Pet stores get their puppies, for example, from puppy mills.  


Puppy Mills 
-the animals are kept in bad conditions 
-they are exposed to diseases, like pneumonia and upper respiratory infection
-their eyes get ulcers and their jaws rot due to tooth decay
-the animals are kept in small metal cages, very rarely let out,and forced to stay in their own filth
-dogs get caught in cages and they break their feet trying to get free
-when females cant reproduce anymore they are bashed in the head with a stick or shot
-in one investigation of a puppy mill there were bones and dead bodies found lying around
-dogs are sometimes de-barked, meaning that they have metal poles shoved down their throats so they cant bark




The people in puppy make money and dont tend to spend it.  They sell the animals and collect that money but they dont buy the animals proper shelter, food or veterinary help. In one investigation of a puppy mill people found dead bodies and bones lying all around.


When people buy pets from pet stores they often die soon after, there have been many cases when the pet was taken to the vet right after being bought, but there was nothing the doctor could do.


So dont buy pets from pet stores unless you are certain they were treated properly, help put puppy mills to an end
