Please everyone out there do not ever purchase an animal from a pet store!That contributes to places like puppy mills and puppy mills need to be stopped!!!!

Stuffed in cages? If they were individually housed then *that* is wrong too. They are confined with plenty of room; fed, appear in great shape, pens need cleaned; looks like the dogs had it better than many Americans esp in today's economy. You don't know (unless you were there) they're in their kennels all day. I think it's much healthier to be confined, room to play, with a buddy & food than left to be "free"; hit by cars, poisoned etc. Yes of the two those dogs looked in good shape.

Not true that purebreds "take homes" from shelter dogs. Many shelters kill automatically - with NO CHANCE of a home - any dog with a certain look. Many people want a dog but *NEED* an animal that stays under 20# due to landlord req -there's NO guarantee mutts will be a certainsize. There are also shelters/rescues who deny homes: those dogs DON'T HAVE TO DIE. They were killed despite being - yes - wanted! Know many people that fit. btw most of my dogs are muts from the street;but lies not helping

the purebreeds do not come the people who take breeding seriously.Your comment that No one should be allowed to breed is like saying " No one should have Children" , rediculous . There are MILLIONS of dying and lonley children in Shelters, foster homes, and adoption centers accross the globe. Millions are KILLED daily here in america due to Abortion. We live in an UNJUST world..

I aggree that there are too many dogs in the shelters- If OWNERS where manditory to Chip and register every dog then they would not be there. It has nothing to do with Show/Pro breeders that the LA shelter is crowded. Most dogs come from MEXICO in LA- they have huge Puppy mills there too.. why not look around? There are only 25% purebreeds in shelters across the US, So where do the 75% of mutts come from? Of the 25% purebreed dogs in the shelters, Majority are from BYBs-

What's the point of breeding any dogs and making money from it when there are so many dogs in shelters who are going to die who are perfectly healthy and need a home; they just don't happen to be genetically perfect purebreeds? For every dog born by a breeder and adopted out, one has to die in a shelter. I think it's pretty irresponsible to breed dogs at all in world where cities (like LA) give dogs and cats less than 3 days in a shelter before they're killed due to overcrowding.

Do you honestly think it's a healthy life for dogs or anything to be stuffed in cages like that with multiple other animals? I know that when I was younger I was arrested for a DUI and had to spend the night with 18 drunk people in a cell for 12 hours. It felt like torture and it wasn't even a day for me. I have no problem with the way they treated me - I deserved it. But these animals' only crime is being born in a puppy mill and they don't deserve to sit in cages like that day after day.

Unfortunately, most don't. I don't know about these dogs, but for the most part, especially here in Los Angeles, they kill most of the puppies and kittens (and other animals too I'm sure) after 3 days. This town really doesn't give a shit about animals. |
