My information comes from the article itself.<br /><br />The list does not show 60 pet shops signed. All those listed as signed are not in the Seattle area. And most that signed are not, nor have ever been a pet shop. My facts come from the lack of facts in the article and no other source... fyiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33860592.post-60809895022799061472010-12-08T15:32:41.751-08:002010-12-08T15:32:41.751-08:001. The list if signees is not 60.
2. According ...1. The list if signees is not 60.<br /><br />2. According to that list all of Western Washington is the same as the Seattle area. There are not 60 Pet Shops in Seattle.<br /><br />3. Many on the list are pet "supply" and pet "food" stores and have never sold any kind of animal. <br /><br />4. Just because a Pet Shop sells puppies, it's insane to claim they come from a Puppy Mill just because they're a puppy. That's just ignorant. Unless you have exact information on exactly where the puppy came from, making claims on any business, just because you see a puppy, is a claim based on pure ignorance. There are a lot of great pet shops in WA that do sell puppies and take the utmost care of them and their customers.<br /><br />This article is just not truthful and completely exaggerates the numbers. The list they provide doesn't ad up to 60, nor are many of those businesses listed a pet shop or have ever sold a pet.<br /><br />This is propoganda, not a bit of truth.

Fortunately, people are becoming aware of the anti-societal agenda of the H$U$ through groups like NAIA, HumaneWatch, and other anti-AR-industry groups, and perhaps the damage that H$U$ causes will diminish over time as more people understand what they are really about ($$$$$ and control over people's animals).M Covaultnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33860592.post-55063984982147768312010-12-08T09:40:23.724-08:002010-12-08T09:40:23.724-08:00I would first like to applaud all of the Seattle-a...I would first like to applaud all of the Seattle-area retails who have taken the puppy friendly pledge!<br /><br />@athousanddays – Not only is it counter-productive to refuse to support independent, locally owned stores that are doing the right thing for dogs, but your source information is strongly biased.

I'd bet not many, so it's easy for them to sign. ANY siding with the H$U$ is bad for any animal enterprise, so they are essentially betraying animal enterprises by siding with H$U$--which is the "animal rights" INDUSTRY leader--making money off the lives of animals and the persecution of animal owners.M Covaultnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33860592.post-34394972532061890492010-12-07T21:51:29.213-08:002010-12-07T21:51:29.213-08:00I hope that these same Seattle pet stores realize ...I hope that these same Seattle pet stores realize (and quickly) how they will alienate a substantial portion of their customers by indicating any kind of alliance with the Humane Society of the United States, which is a "humane society" in name only. <br /><br />While I believe that people should seek their companions from a shelter or a responsible breeder (and not a pet store) I would never buy so much as a dog biscuit from a store that indicated that they supported HSUS in any manner. <br /><br />To learn the truth about HSUS, check out the National Animal Interest Alliance (www.naiaonline.org) or HumaneWatch.
