Help save UN Lucky puppies! Get Lucky Puppy out of Marketplace Mall!
To Dennis Robertson, General Manager:
We, the undersigned, are outraged and appalled that you continue to allow Lucky Puppy to remain in the mall. It is deeply disturbing to see living creatures on display in glass windows, being sold as if they are no different from the other accessories in the store. This causes people to purchase puppies on impulse, and without the understanding that owning a pet is a major responsibility, which leads to many puppies being abandoned or surrendered to shelters, where they may be euthanized simply because there are not enough resources to care for them.
Even more troubling is the probable more direct role that Lucky Puppy plays in animal abuse and neglect by not purchasing the puppies from legitimate, ethical breeders. Employees of the store refuse to give any information about which specific breeders they use, which is vague at best and at worst an outright lie. This probable participation in supporting cruel, unethical puppy mills and deception of customers is completely unacceptable.
We will continue to refuse to give this store any business, as well as alert the public of the disturbing nature of the store. We strongly urge you to act on behalf of the innocent puppies who have no voice, and who deserve better treatment, by forcing Lucky Puppy to take their store elsewhere!

puppy mills are the culprit of all pet stores no matter what I have seen it, and I have worked in this field for over twenty years. petstores and puppy mills are married. |
ALL animals should be allowed to live. Should we kill humans when they are not wanted!!
The innocent consumer must be made aware that these dogs come from puppy mills. NO REPUTABLE BREEDER would ever sell their dogs in a store. STOP PUPPY MILLS!
I'd like to see the store owner remain in a crate while on display for everyone in the mall to view. Shame on this store for treating puppies in this manner. Stop this practice now if you want to remain in business or guarantee that people will start boycotting your store!
Stop pet shops! It is always better to rescue a pet from a shelter that needs love and care...

Pets in animal pounds should be put on display in places where people congregate (like public transport stations). Many of those pets would escape from being euthanized. What are we waiting for? Let's attempt it! |
PLEASE be kind to the animals, so that you can live your life with no regret, with a clean conscience. Sincerely, Lars Kullberg

A DECEPTIVELY ABUSIVE MARKETING PLOY
Life is not for sale.
A follow-up after the "purchase" of an animal in a pet shop has to be implemented because lots of people succumbs to the sight of a puppy/Kitten and abandoned later when adult. A dog/cat pet is NOT A TOY so must be taken from shelters or legal mills !! People must get aware that taking home a pet is a real responsability! Most of pet shops do "sell" (yuk) animals with no health certification !!
needless to say we face the same over here ...
I have been disgusted in finding out the condition that some animals are kept in at pet stores. Why can't some of our tax dollars be spent to have investigators checking that this doesn't continue!!! When did animals and their welfare not become important??? I am sick of hearing about more and more of this - puppy mills are well known for supplying to these pet stores - and how do the stores know that the animal is going to a good home. Applications should have to be filled out as well!!!
