Pet stores should not be allowed to sell live animals. The selling of animals at pet stores is often the main cause of the overpopulation of unwanted pets. ... The conditions in which these animals are kept at the pet stores are also inhumane. ... The animals at the pet stores not only have an unpleasant life at the pet store, but often times before their arrival, and some times after their departure.
Before their arrival to a pet store, the animals will often have had a bad start in life. Many pet stores will purchase their animals from a mass-breeding facility, often characterized by inhumane conditions. ... Few pet stores will admit their animal purchase from such facilities. If a pet store denies this, it often simply means that they buy it from someone who originally bought the animals at a mass-breeding facility. ...
Animals that depart from a pet store may not have a happy ending to their tale. Pet stores often sell their animals to impulsive consumers. ... The pet stores may be staffed with employees with limited knowledge about the animals or about pet ownership and care. ...
Once a pet owner realizes that their animal is too much for them, their animals quickly become unwanted. Owners may not be willing to care for the high energy pet, or the high maintenance, or the time consuming, or the financially expensive, or the ill-tempered pet, or the pet with the behavior concerns.
