 If You're Thinking of Getting a Pet..  I am sure you have heard this before, but in the United States and Canada, every year there are millions of unwanted dogs and cats put to sleep because of lack of room at shelters, and not enough available homes for these animals. Even if you want a purebred puppy, you can usually find what you want at a shelter/rescue. Just go to www.petfinder.com; you can search by specific breed, age, region , etc. Below are some links for rescues in Calgary and the United States; some of the southern states are high kill shelters that euthanize if not claimed within 3 days; some still use the gas chamber and heart stick as methods of euthanization which are inhumane. Even if a pet store says the puppies available dont come from a puppy mill; 99% of the time they do; no reputable breeder would put their puppies in a pet store to be caged all day. View the following links if looking for a pet to adopt: 'business units'; 'animal services', etc.) US: Puppy Mills Episode on Oprah, Videos 1-8: Miscellaneous Links -Video on how sheep are raised for wool and what happens to them afterward.
