These are some of the position's that the Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project stand by:

"PETLAND sells puppies from mass breeding facilities. We do not support the mass breeding of puppies.

PETLAND sells other species to “anyone who walks into the store with the money.” We do not believe that this leads to a happy and healthy relationship between pets and people. Too many of these animals are purchased on a whim and when the fun wears off, these animals are abandoned to our shelters. Shelters end up “cleaning up the mess” and taking on the responsibility for the care of these animals while the pet peddlers and distributors cash in.

The Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project will fully cooperate with any action directed at educating the public about responsible pet ownership and the industry behind the “cute puppies” in the glass cages at pet stores.

We will continue to tell the pubic that over 8 MILLION homeless pets are put to death every year due to lack of homes. Until pet SELLERS take responsibility for the lives they create, sell and make a profit from, we will continue to ask people to support pet supply stores that are part of the solution rather than part of the problem."
