Why do laws continue to allow pet stores to sell puppies?
Question: Why do laws continue to allow pet stores to sell puppies?
Wouldn’t passing a law that prohibited the sale of puppies at stores make a huge impact in shutting down puppy mills? Why is this legal? You always hear politicans talking about animal rights, why don’t they do something about it and make it illegal for stores to sell puppies??!! And, why, when shows like Dateline & 20/20 do undercover investigations of these puppy mills, don’t they bring cops with them to shut them down, arrest and throw in jail the cold-hearted people that run them? Obviously it’s going to take more than telling people “don’t buy a puppy at a pet store” for this madness to stop. For every person who decides to not buy from a store, there is always somebody who will.

Unfortunately, people tend to be more concerned for human convenience, comfort, and profit than the rights and welfare of non-human animals. We’ve got to keep fighting to change this, though.

I want to open a pet store….?
Question: I want to open a pet store….?
Hey, so I’ve been thinking about what I wanted to do with my life… I’m 17 currently… I was thinking of becoming an animator… but then Id have to move to a totally different country and leave all my family and friends behind 
All my life Ive Loved pets… especially dogs 
so I kinda had a brainstorm (Is that what you call it?): What If I opened a pet store… Like in a high class area in Toronto like the Shopping district or somewhere cool in toronto
And my pet store would be high end… Id sell like cute collars and coats and halloween costumes at winter time… Id sell those little gourmet treats and cupcakes and the store would look very classy and elegant… Now I know what your thinking… “dogs from pet stores come from puppy mills” and “theres already a million High-end pet stores”… but what will make this one different is I want to have 2 big screens on the wall One with Pictures and Bios of dogs in the local shelter and the other with pictures of cats at the local shelter… the customer could come in, pic a pet(S) and buy his supplyes and then go to one of the local shelters to pick up his pooch or feline
…is that a reasonable idea??? I would not be selling fish or hamsters…the only living creature in my store would be my own dog
I think its great because people wwho already have dogs can shop there or people who are looking for a dog can shop there AND save a pets life!
obviously I want to work hand in hand with 1 or more local shelters
On the front of the store I would advertise that you CAN buy a dog/cat at the store… they would come in thinking they will be getting some puppy mill dog when in fact their helping the shelter pups and cats

Answer by Stephanie B
You would have to have a lot of advertising and stuff to make it successful because there are so many pet stores already! Maybe if you did grooming for the dogs too, and like a pet sitting service, as well as the pet store and all of that, it may workout better. People are always looking for a grooming place to bring their pet!

big hamsters. Then for big reptiles to rabbits 30 gallon tank?

To lease/purchase the space in which to open your store will vary place to place. It could cost anything, really. From $ 1000-$ 10,000 for high end real estate.
1. Most names do fine. Yours proposes a close, homey feel. I like it.
2. 10 gallon tanks will work with small rodents. Rats and larger will do better in wire cages, as would guinea pigs, rabbits, and ferrets. A “big” reptile would meed more than a 30 gallon- depending on how long it takes to sell the animal.
3. This sounds like work for the business owner or marketing consultant. Anyway, prices vary with the area you are in, generally speaking. Even if prices were constant throughout the states there are too many breeds, species, and color phases available to list here.
4. Without a business model and estimated monthly revemue that the store brings in, no one will be able to tell you how much $ you could earn. When you open a private business, it can be really hit or moss and earnings can vary widely from month-to-month.
Breeding animals in store. I don’t think so. Rodents like hamsters and rats breed readily and easily but nothing else would be easy to breed. Fish breeding varies with the species depending on pH, light duration, temperature and M-F ratio. Birds can be even more dificult to breed and are very fragile as young chicks. Reptiles can ve just as difficult to breed as the more advanced fish- but again, it varies from species to species.
