hi all well its time i put in my two cents werth. sofare i've read all the comments about selling pets in wannabe petstores but nobody has hit the mark! i for one if i found a furball that needed to be rescued i'm not going to leave it behind just to make a statement becouse the next person in the door is buying his/her first one. what is needed is to get our legal system off its butt and enforce some of these laws. insted of stabing each other. i think if we want these stores to stop selling animals we need to make it to expencive for them ie- when the fines for abuse and neglect, and under age furballs cost more than the cost of a new shipment of animals. we might see some results. oh i realize they will just rase the price of these animals but after a while they will be to expencive and nobody can afford to buy them. and when those that enforce the laws get tired of a weekly check /up on these stores they may finally do something after hundreds of complaints from pet owners calling about conditions of animals. there i've said my piece now i'll be quiet and go back to reading my fml.... rich samantha & the ghost of pogo [Posted in FML issue 3859]
