Ok guys... I am not sure what to accomplish with this thread...I just want to have a conversation with bun-buddies such us myself... Ok, my fiancee is just as much of a bun-bud, but you know... I need some brainstorming, thoughts, whatever...
So, since yesterday, my morale is a bit down since we went to Pets at Home, to buy food for our boy, Nyunyu. (Ok, I know these shops are all eeeviiillll in terms of living animals, but hey, food is food....and good quality food will remain good quality food wherever you buy them.)
So..of course we always check out the buns over there when we go there... I'm sure all you guys do...and I always leave with an awful feeling - you know, the way PaH operates with breeders and buns in general
The reason why I feel sad is: Ok, we all know we shouldn't buy buns but adopt foster ones... But I feel bad for those buns in PaH, for instance... I mean we adopt a bun to give him/her a loving home and a family...but...those PaH buns are buns too, it is not their fault they are there...they would need some sort of help and thes deserve a chance, as well... Do you see my point? i want to help buns in general...and that group involves pet store buns, too And i feel horrible for not being able to do something...
What do you think? Let me know what you guys have on your mind... Because it is really a horrible feeling
EDIT: Just to clarify this: I KNOW that if I adopt a bun from a shelter, it frees up space for another bun in need, and if i buy one, they just contact the breeder to 'order' some more.
I get the system, really. My problem is the fact that it is not 'RESONABLE' to help buns in shop yet they'd deserve a chance, too do you see my point?
