I think Hunte Corporation needs to be put out of buisness because now they work with the pet store in the mall, Maxie Biggz and they are selling unfit puppies to the customers. They have a health issue in that store and somebody needs to stop them. |

People should go to animals shelters to adopt pets. These poor dogs and cats will put to death after 48 hours. |

J. Lo knows what animals who are killed for their skins endure-PETA has contacted her with letters and videos no less than a dozen times. Lopez may try to convince her fans that her rabbit-trimmed jackets are a must-have, but what she won't tell you is that bunnies killed for fur coats scream as they are skinned alive! Whether they're trapped in the wild or raised and killed on fur farms, animals used for their skins endure prolonged, painful, early deaths.
Through the years, Lopez has worn the skin of just about every animal imaginable, from foxes, who are bludgeoned to death and often skinned alive, to small, gentle chinchillas, who are killed by electrocution or have their delicate necks snapped and 100 of whose skins are required to make just one coat. As if wearing hundreds of dead animals weren't enough, in her first catwalk collection for her clothing line, Sweetface, Lopez proved that she is anything but sweet when she featured grisly garments made of white fox and mink. Lopez may try to market this line as "high end" and all about the "bling," but there is nothing upscale or elegant about how the original owners of these coats met their gruesome deaths.
Most people agree that wearing fur is wrong. Please don't support Jennifer Lopez or her bloody business. Many hot designers, including Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood, Todd Oldham, Marc Bouwer, and others have turned their backs on fur and created synthetic alternatives that are hip, humane, and easily available and don't turn animals into fashion victims.
Write to J. Lo and tell her that promoting the violence of the fur industry is a low-down, dirty, rotten shame.

Undercover investigators from Swiss Animals Protection East/International spent the past year investigating fur farms in China’s Hebei Province and found that many animals, including dogs and foxes, are still alive and struggling desperately when workers flip them onto their backs or hang them up by their legs or tails to skin them. When workers on these farms begin to cut the skin and fur from an animal’s leg, the free limbs kick and writhe. Workers stomp on the necks and heads of animals who, fighting for their lives, struggle too hard to allow for a clean cut. When the fur is finally peeled off over the animals’ heads, their naked, bloody bodies are thrown onto a pile of those who have gone before them. Some are still alive, breathing in ragged gasps and blinking slowly. Some of the animals’ hearts are still beating five to 10 minutes after they are skinned. One investigator recorded a skinned raccoon dog on the heap of carcasses who had enough strength to lift his bloodied head and stare into the camera, with only his eyelashes still intact.
Before they are skinned alive, animals are pulled from their cages and slammed against the ground; workers bludgeon them with metal rods, causing broken bones and convulsions but not always immediate death. Animals watch helplessly as workers make their way down the row.
Some animals killed in the Chinese fur trade were once loving companions. Millions of dogs and cats—some still wearing collars—are transported without food, shelter, or water, shoved into tiny metal crates, and stacked on trucks—as many as 8,000 animals to a truck. When they arrive for slaughter, workers toss the crates of crying, terrified, and dying animals to the ground, a drop from as high as 10 feet that causes the animals’ limbs to shatter as they crash to the ground. After they are killed and skinned, their fur is often deliberately mislabeled as fur from other species and exported to the U.S. to be sold to unsuspecting customers.
China supplies more than half of the finished fur garments imported for sale in the United States. Because a fur’s origin can’t be traced, anyone who wears any fur at all may actually be wearing the coat of a dog or cat and therefore shares the blame for the horrific conditions on Chinese fur farms. The only way to prevent such unimaginable cruelty is never to wear any fur.

Puppies and other animals are not a clothing accesory or an impluse purchase. These 'retailers' are doing a great disservice to the dog community. What a shame. |

I wanted to reply to Kristen - I recently bought a kitten for my son and paid $40 at our local humane society here in missouri. I am much like many people who would rather buy from their local Humane Society and try to reduce the number of pets that are destroyed each year. I am sorry to say, I had to take it to a vet 2 days later with some virus. It was lethargic and didn't eat. My son was very sad. It didn't cost us $4,000, only $200, but I will think twice about buying from Humane Society. I know most animals at HS get shots, but how closely are they inspected by vets? What regulations to HS's follow in regards to health of animals? The facilities were disgusting at the HS. If I shouldn't buy a pet from a pet store and I had this experience at the Humane Society, where can I get a pet? BTW - Denver is doing fine now and is a happy member of our family |

Over 10 Million homeless animals are distroyed each year. Why encourage people to breed more. A purebreed dog is no better, and often times have more health issues than a mixed one. Inbreeding is encouraged to keep pumping out puppies. The shelter or a private breeder are more likely places to find a companion. Do not shop at these stores as the almighty dollar is apparantly the only thing they care about, so hit them where it hurts! |

I will no longer shop at the Gap or related stores and have e-mailed everyone I know to let them know this is going on. This only adds to the overpopulation issue and puts dogs on the streets destined for shelters. |

This is outrageous! Breeding animals to DEATH in a puppymill just to pump out billions of puppies...all for the love of the almighty dollar!
NEVER again will I, or anyone I know shop at GAP or IKEA ever again.
Letters and phone calls will be sent to everyone that can do something about this atrocity!
The key is education! People need to know just how many pets get euthanized each and every day due to pet over population!
IF YOU WANT A PET GO TO YOUR LOCAL HUMANE SOCIETY OR ADOPT FROM A RESCUE ORGANIZATION THAT RESCUES THESE POOR SOULS FROM THE PUPPYMILLS AND COMMERCIAL KENNELS! |

I think pets arenot meant to be sold by retailers, there is no way employee can be trained enough to know the in and out of every breed to tell potential customers. And also the places who will sell a retailer dogs is just deplorable. |

Why? by opening another pet store you are support puppymills. No reputable breeder would ever sell puppies through a broker or to a petstore. Puppymills come in all forms, a well lighted and clean puppymill is still a puppymill and promotes irresponsible breeding. I am shocked and appalled that a reputable company would sell puppies and promote and support puppymills. I will never buy anything from any Gap or Ikea again and will tell my friends and anyone who will listen to no longer support these store. |
