[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course animal rescue fees are almost exactly what pet stores used to charge back in the day, inflation adjusted. That’s because the source of the animals is still the same: puppy mills and backyard breeders. Same businesses, different distribution channels. [/quote]

Not even all that different.  A good number of the rescues do their events at PetSmart and Petco.  It's a racket.[/quote]
Wow you have no idea what you’re talking about.
They do their events at Petco because the stores allow them to use their space. Where do you propose they do them? [/quote]

Yes, I’m aware the stores give permission.  Under the old system, the pet stores bought dogs from breeders and sold them in their stores.  Under the new system, the rescue organizations buy dogs from breeders and then people “adopt” them in pet store parking lots in exchange for an “adoption fee.”  Totally different![/quote]

Oh, look, it's the person who thinks people who don't spay or neuter their pets only to have those pets reproduce count at "breeders."[/quote]
