“If I had left [animal] at [shitty petstore] they would have died.”

So leave them.

Buying animals from horrible people just puts money in the pockets of animal abusers and dooms another animal to life in the exact same conditions. Congratulations, you saved an animal that probably won’t survive. But you’ve also ensured a string of other animals will now suffer and die in it’s place, you’ve created demand and supported a terrible business all in one fell swoop.

It’s a hard thing to accept, but your misplaced kindness is killing a lot more than it saves.

Sad, but true. All my rescues were free but 1 and I should have fought harder to get him free.

Please don’t fund places that abuse animals.
