"Who would steal a tiny puppy from a pet store?"

[SoCalDem]

This was the question of the local newsbarbie..said breathlessly and in such a confused tone of voice..

Um... maybe someone who wanted a puppy,


and saw a chance to spend some quality time in jail, instead of asking any random neighbor "Know anyone with some puppies?"..:rofl:

The CCTV showed the guy walking/running out of the store with the puppy..

I still can't believe that it's legal for them to be sold like that anyway.

pet stores should be like Pet Smart..for adoptions but not for sale....just sell the accoutrements...but not the animals..

These little puppy/kitty mills pets are usually not all that healthy anyway..

1. Me.

No idea what that person's motive was. Big difference between a theft and liberation speaking from motivation.

I've gone into pet stores a number of times (those that sell puppies) and found one that was suffering and in need of vet care. I've picked that dog up and told the clerk that I was taking the dog with me to be treated and walked out. They got my rescue's business card and my license plate. Most of the abusers in my city know my name and face anyway. No matter. These folks were more than welcome to bring charges and complaints against me and those that operate with me for it.

Not once has any cop ever shown up at my door for it. It's not stealing, if that's the motivation.
