Shops that DO NOT sell animals

Let's use our consumers' power to indicate to shops that sell "live" animals (akin to selling slaves in the past) that we DO NOT APPROVE by boycotting them.

This posting is to give information (name, address, phone and website) of shops that DO NOT sell live animals so then we can support them and help them to flourish.


Why you shouldn't buy animals from petshops

What You Can Do
You can help animals sold in pet stores in the following ways:
• Encourage pet stores that sell animals not to do so. PETCO recently agreed not to sell large birds (such as cockatoos and macaws), recognizing the inherent cruelty in confining these wild animals and subjecting them to inadequate care.
• Report any sick or injured animal to your local animal control agency or police department immediately.
• Contact PETA about working on legislation to require that animals sold in stores be spayed or neutered.

Lastly, don’t patronize pet stores that sell animals. You can purchase supplies for companion animals from pet supply stores or catalogs that carry full product lines but don’t treat animals as merchandise. And if you’re searching for an animal companion, adopt from a reputable animal shelter (please see our factsheet “Animal Shelters: Hope for the Homeless”) or rescue organization.
