Not all of you fish guys have knowledge about the statistics on the dogs that end up in shelters, I understand that.

Even just watch Animal Planet, please....

I used the term BYB, but these are just mini-puppy mills, supplying pet stores.

When you buy a "'friend" for the 10-15 years you hope for, do you not want some kind of good breeding behind that? That eliminates the health, temperament issues ?

Obviously, with floor mops, not so much....maybe that is the difference.

*** Rescue before you buy at a pet store, yes.

I don't support puppy mills either, I just thought the thread got really off track, that's all I think if you are going to invest in buying a pet like a dog, cat or bird that you are better off buying from a private breeder. Generally they have better quality animals, care very much about what they are doing and it is easy to weed out the legit breeders from the "mill" type if you know what to look for.

Sooo...let's talk about fish, lol

You guys really hate things getting off track don't you !!!

So, the thread was about Pisces. Someone should get some pics of that waterfall, maybe with someone feeding the Koi?

I'd ask about the monkeys...but better not...

The last store that supposedly had rescues had all the dogs go sick, and they never reappeared. (Old thread)

Rescues, or any other dogs, do not belong in cages in pet stores. Sorry.

There are many reputable rescue organizations to adopt from, and they won't include a pet store.

Done.

Maybe.
