petcareawareness:

Do not purchase animals from pet stores and do your best to get your supplies at pet stores that do not sell animals. Try your best not to support pet stores that sell animals.

The animals in large chain pet stores come from animal mills and the ones in the smaller stores are typically backyard bred.

It would be ideal if eventually pet stores sold pet supplies only and the pets themselves were purchased instead from reputable rescues or reputable breeders.
