I don't support puppy mills either, I just thought the thread got really off track, that's all
I think if you are going to invest in buying a pet like a dog, cat or bird that you are better off buying from a private breeder. Generally they have better quality animals, care very much about what they are doing and it is easy to weed out the legit breeders from the "mill" type if you know what to look for.
Sooo...let's talk about fish, lol
