I hate to say it but alot of the pets that people have now day was once a wild creature out on their own. People have taken them in and gave them food, love and attention. And I will say that there are some pet stores that have problems with taking care of their animals for the reasons that maybe they have to many in their store to give them individual attention or they can't keep up with their cages...I have a problem with those ones. But I feel that not all pet stores are a bad place, it just depends on how they are ran and if the animals get attention.
