Loading ...New Evidence Against Petland
According to the Humane Society of the United States, the group has gathered even more evidence that Petland is still selling puppy mill dogs, some coming from the worst of the worst for-profit breeders in the country…
Wayne Pacelle, on his blog A Humane Nation, yesterday posted the new evidence.
“And today, The HSUS released a second batch of evidence that confirms again that Petland is engaging in doublespeak when it claims it is not selling dogs from puppy mills. Our records analysis revealed that more than 95 percent of Petland’s stores do buy from puppy mills, either directly from the facilities themselves, or indirectly through massive out-of-state brokers (middleman dealers) who traffic in thousands of puppies a year. In fact, more than 80 of Petland’s outlets were found buying from the Hunte Corporation alone, a massive Missouri broker that traffics in approximately 80,000 puppies a year.”

Ugh, Petland! There is one in a mall I sometimes go to. Those poor puppies are crammed in hot, tiny cages and they just lay around, totally lethargic and disinterested. I used to ask to see one, just so it could be taken out and have a bit of play time, but I can’t even do that anymore. The store is right by a mall entrance and I refuse to even enter the mall that way. They should be shut down.
I’m in total agreement — shut them down. What a disgrace. I think many people are not aware puppy mills even exist. There is a petland near us, but I have never set foot in the place.
Mom says some not so nice words whenever she drives by the two in our area. Get rid of them!!!
Thank you for posting this!
I agree with the others. SHUT THEM DOWN. They have no defense. Im curious to see what Petland has to say to THIS latest investigation. IT makes me shudder to think what these poor animals go through. What an AWFUL business.
Thanks for posting this, the more people that we can make aware of the situation, the better.
This place makes me sick. They are evil and maniupulative and they LIE
This is sickening. This company needs to be put out of business. How can we spread the word short of standing outside their stores and telling every single customer not to buy a puppy??? Its a tough battle. There is a petition out there though on Facebook that you can sign…
