If you own a pet store, would you let visitors take photos of your pets?

Hmm, good question. Although, I myself would never, ever own a pet shop. Just based on my own theories and experience that well...most pet shops freakin' suck and I would feel like a complete hypocrite after every time I've insisted that people "stay the hell away from pet stores if you're not buying pet supplies!"

However, in the unlikely situation that I would have a pet store, would I? Yes and no. It all depends on their reasons. If say a couple of teenage girls were to come into the store and just wanted to hold bunches of cute puppies to put on their Facebook pages...no. Because free advertising or not, it's not fair to the puppies, and they're not on display like freak show characters. Puppies being held, and then put back, held, then put back, can be very tiresome of a puppy and they haven't had all of their vaccinations yet. Seeing as parvo can travel just on the soles of people's shoes and live in the environment for an extremely long time, the puppies could contract it before they even get their secondary shot...and in puppies, it's very fatal.

I guess my pet store, just wouldn't have pets beyond say hermit crabs, fish and birds. And I'd make sure that I went through the right people and proper breeders to make sure I'd be a safe and legitimate pet store rather than the oh, millions of them around the world that are immoral, and are puppy/kitten mill and backyard breeders' best customers. I could never run a store like that with a clear conscience, let alone work in one. I don't know how any of their staff do it, honestly.
