Talk:Pet store

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not an animal rights activist and I'm not disputing the truthfulness of this, however, it does seem a little opinionated:

There are many small, privately owned pet stores that carry puppies and kittens, maintain a superb level of care and get their animals from small, private breeders.

This page reads like PETA propaganda, or - at best - an about.com article on shopping for a pet.

"Before purchasing a pet, potential customers should ask questions and observe the conditions and employees in the store to determine whether the establishment is reputable."

Great advice, doesn't belong in an encyclopedia entry. The whole article is shot through with this tone; and not just under the "Criticism" header. There's no useful imformation here on the history of pet shops, or any detailed information on their business practices. Wikipedia is not intended as a means of giving advice or opinions. --Levity
