Should I get a pet from a pet store or the pound?

You should get a pet from the pound. Most of the pets you see in pet stores are bred by breeders who only breed pets for personal gain. While there are some responsible breeders out there, most of them sell their animals privately out of their homes.

Most of the animals you see in pet stores were bred in metal cages in unsanitary conditions. Pet stores often buy from these breeders because their prices are cheap. The pets you find in pounds are just as beautiful as the ones you see in pet stores.

Pounds have many pure breed animals. Most of the pets who are in pounds are there because they were strays or their former owners couldn’t keep them. If pound pets aren’t placed in homes after a certain length of time, many are euthanized.

Millions of animals are killed that way. Most pounds only have dogs and cats. From dailypuppy.Com -quote Animal shelters and pounds take in homeless animals and try to find them homes.

According to the Humane Society, between three and four million cats and dogs are killed in the U.S. Each year simply because they cannot find homes. -endquote You can view the whole article, which discusses buying an animal from a pound versus buying an animal from a pet store here: dailypuppy.com/articles/why-you-should-a....

I recommend from the pound/shelter. These animals are homeless and need someone to adopt them otherwise they will be euthanised. The pet stores get theirs from specific breeders and don't take any from the shelters to help home them.

I'm from Australia so my recommended shelters may not be useful to you. Here in Oz we have the Lost Dogs Home, Lort Smith and RSPCA. If you haven't already looked I'm sure you will find a great pet at the pound :).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
