Where Would
You Get Next Pet?
LOS ANGELES - Remember that old
song, "How much is that doggie in the window?" For most Americans, it
seems it's no sale.
More than half of people in an Associated Press-Petside poll said they would get their next dog or cat from a shelter, nearly seven times the number who said they would buy their next pet from a store. And more than four in 10 said they thought store pets could have hidden medical or psychological problems. That's significantly more than those who expressed the same concerns about pets from animal shelters or breeders. "I believe they overbreed the pets. I believe they couldn't care less about the pets, they're really in it for the money. I think you are more likely to get a pet at a pet store that is ill or has problems," said Sandra Toro, 62, of Colton, Calif. Just 8 percent of those polled said they would get their next cat or dog at a store, while 13 percent said that's where they got the pet they have now. Fifty-four percent of those polled said they would probably get their next pet from a shelter, while 23 percent went for a breeder. The AP-Petside.com poll was conducted April 7-12 with 1,112 pet owners nationwide and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points. The above is an article written by Sue Manning. Found in the May 13, 2010 issue of The Arizona Republic newspaper. (THE BUZZ) section. Until next
time."Here's Looking At You"
