		<description>&quot;Where else can we get dogs from?&quot;
What about ethical breeders?  
What about the humane society?

then you say:  &quot;why don&#039;t you just sell things?&quot;

BECAUSE puppies are NOT &quot;things&quot;!!!!

ALL pet shops get their puppies from pupply-mills (google that).   

Why?  Because no ethical person would allow a puppy to go through the pet-store experience and ethical breeders want/need to know EXACTLY who has their puppies and if they are well.

Some countries don&#039;t allow shops to sell live animals AT ALL.   This has done wonders to combat puppy-mills and all people who think animals are &quot;things&quot;.

I hope they outlaw it in America soon.  It will even help reduce the stray dog populatiion (the pet stores will sell to just &quot;anybody&quot;, the breeders are more careful, because they CARE about the dogs).

In the meantime:  NEVER buy a pup from a store, as much as it may hurt.  If you REALLY want to help a pup, go visit your local shelter.</description>
