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

I definitely agree that pictures without using flash should be allowed and would bring business as well. But I can see if you're going around snapping photos without the intention of buying anything that that would bother the owner. As long as the intention to purchase something is present, such as sending pics home to see what the family thinks of the pets, I don't see why shop owners don't actually encourage photo taking.
