So I did something that I haven't done in a very long time. My daughter was looking for a particular item for her cats. We went into a particular pet store.
I tried to stay away from the back, and really I should have never went in. I have never, and I mean NEVER seen such disgusting, disturbing treatment of dogs in a "pet" store!!
The dogs were filthy, they were laying in some of their own feces and lord knows what else. What should have been white fur was dirt! There was puppy poop smeared on the glass from them trying to get out.
The thing that has broken my heart the most is this~ a "Bichon Frise" puppy that was born in March, 2 of them housed in the same confinements. I asked to take her out, she immediately snuggled into my neck and started whimpering. She wrapped her paws around my arm as if saying "please don't let me go"..
We put her on the floor to see how she would react to some stimulation. She just flopped down, and didn't move..whimpering. My heart broke for this little girl, if I had the money she sure as heck wouldn't be there!!
How do they (employees) not see the filthy conditions that these animals are "living" in... I know I can't save them all...but I sure would love to be able to save this little girl. I can't seem to get her out of my head..and heart.
I know this is just re flogging a dead issue...I just needed to vent.
