i am sorry to be way behind in my posts- kim i know you are not just
bashing as i have seen these practices in pet stores myself..i have had
experience with 'puppy mills' and such- you want to do something/ write
me---i have had it with the market for live animals, and am a pretty
scrappy lady myself-
-peace,
christine

[Moderator's note: I didn't know the FML had a singular opinion. That's
