>From: Troy Lynn Eckart <[log in to unmask]> >ferrets would have died and the store would have STILL got in more >ferrets. The sad fact is kits dying in pet stores isn't going to stop >the stores from purchasing more. But it will. Because it's also a sad fact of business, that if a product line is not selling well, the business will stop selling that product and go on to something that is profitable. If a grocery store carries artichokes, but all of them sit on the shelf and rot, they will discontinue carrying artichokes and purchase something that does sell in that neighborhood. If no one purchases their ferrets that store will STOP carrying that unprofitable item. It's a merely a business decision.
