Maybe you should stop buying puppies from puppy mills and just be like Petco. Petco is better because there you can adopt the puppies and them take it home. They get their puppies from the shelter. You guys don't know how to sell puppies well. puppies in petco are better than yours anyway

It is bad because the bags go to the pacific ocean and the plastic bags never go away. Instead of throwing away the plastic bags you can take it to the store where you got it from because there is going to be a lot of bags in the ocean.

Animal Cruelty

Animal Cruelty

2008-12-05T11:09:00.000-08:00

Animal cruelty is when you abuse your dog or animal and don't pay attention to them and leave them outside on a little chain.In one of the articles that I read it said that even though you punish them because you want them to be better, it is still animal cruelty.Some of the dogs that get hit by their owners can get in trouble.The owners also put their dogs into fights.That is sad.The owners should not put them into fights and when they loose they kill them. Also, they should not even let them starve.
