I tend to stay totally away from ANY pet shop pets. As my friend OriJas said, they are supplied by backyard breeder/puppy mill types. Of course we are looking at it from the dog/cat perspective, not so much fish or birds. As for the dogs, which is where my
knowledge is, I would never buy from a breeder. Not a backyard breeder/puppy mill or a reputable breeder. There is not a problem with reputable breeders, they do a fine job. BUT, as there are 3-4 MILLION dogs/puppies in this country killed each year because of too many dogs, not enough homes all my dogs have been rescues. Some off the streets, some from shelters. The guy we have now was abandoned about 12 years ago when his loving family moved away and left him behind!
While on the subject, never mind, I will post the question on my mind for discussion.
Anyway, "Should Wal-Mart sell pets? H E double hockey sticks NO.
BTW, one day while shopping for dog and cat food I hunted up the store manager (pet supplies plus) to let him know many of his birds were without water. Not just clean water, any water. The water dishes were bone dry.
