I think it'd be better for pet stores to carry pet supplies and not animals. That people should get animals from breeders/rescuers.

Problem is the law dosn't always give a rat's ****. I know a place where they have horses and lock a stallion in his stall 24/7 standing in the worst conditions of his fecies that mushrooms are growing in the stall. This amongst many other things at the same place, very gross, very wrong to have any animal living there. So many people know this place and nobody does anything about it. Sometimes I wonder if I should call the OSPCA but I don't even remember the address to the place, then I'd feel like if anything happened it'd be my fault lol.

Yeah once the public sees that kinda thing, everything can change. I have mixed feelings on the pet stores I go to. They can be helpful, nice people in general, but they still don't know enough about a lot of their animals and I feel bad for most of the animals who have to be there. I don't think I could ever "do" anything about it. I wish if I said "Would you mind me giving you some pointers on how to house/care some animals?" And if they said "Oh yes sure that'd be great!" Chances are they think I know nothing about animals, and technically how can I prove I do? I don't have a degree in anything. And they'd probably want me to leave and not come back lol. I just wish people would be more open to learning.
