Puppy Mills
So Joe was at Denny's this morning telling our friend Lala about the protesting that's been going on at Sierra Fish and Pet lately. Some lady overheard the conversation and said that A Place For Pets had to endure the same thing until they stopped selling their puppies. The sad thing is, even though these 2 stores get their puppies from an "agent" who shops local breeders for the pups they supply, they're still coming from puppy mills. Or at least APFP's puppies were. The puppies were the store's main source of income, and through some poking around I discovered they're most likely going to close because of it.
Joe sent me this ad from Craigslist in my email....

PLEASE JOIN OUR CAMPAIGN TO ERADICATE PUPPY MILLS LIKE THE ONE
IN SNOHOMISH COUNTY AND NOW SKAGIT-
JOIN PUPPY-STORE-FREE-WASHINGTON
As many of you already know there have now been two puppy mill raids with more on the way, one in
Snohomish County and one in Skagit County. The details are horrific! Ironically, we launched our
PUPPY-STORE-FREE- WASHINGTON campaign on the same weekend!
After the amazing success of the PUPPY STORE FREE LA campaign,
we decided it was time for a change in the Northwest. (Check
out the LA campaign at Bestfriends.org) We will be conducting
peaceful protests at SIERRA FISH & PETS in Bellevue every
single weekend until they quit selling puppies! We would love
for you to join us and bring your friends! You don't need to
worry about anything. We have done this before, and we are
doing nothing illegal. We are just expressing our first
amendment rights and letting the public know that SIERRA FISH &
PETS sells puppy mill puppies, and PLEASE DON'T SHOP
THERE!!!!!!! We have signs and brochures, but you are welcome
to bring your own sign. (If you want to learn more about just
what a puppy mill is and how they have endured, or for
guidelines to what is appropriate to display on a sign, you can
go towww.Stoppuppymills.org which is a Humane Society website).
We hope you can join our campaign to stop the pain and suffering of those that "have no voice."
Join us from 11-2, every Saturday & Sunday

It pisses me off that they'd much rather protest a small business that takes GREAT care of their puppies and customers, instead of Petco across the street. Who only cleans cages once a week, feeds their fish when they feel like it, and so on and so forth... Why don't they spend their time picketing that store?
