Pittsburghers Against Petland is holding it's monthly protest against the East Liberty Petland on Saturday, July 11th from 1-3 PM.  Please come out and support this important campaign to shut down Petland and all pet stores that continue to support puppy mills while animals die in shelters.


Petland is one of the few chain pet stores left that still has the audacity to sell cats and dogs, despite mass public opposition to the practice. It isn't right for pet stores to sell any live animals, but dogs and cats are unique in their plight because nearly all dogs and cats sold in pet stores come from puppy and cat mills, which are well known for their abysmal and abusive conditions. Furthermore, the shelters are full of dogs and cats looking for a good home, and many of them die just waiting for someone to adopt them. Petland and all pet stores that continue to sell live animals need to be held accountable for the part they play in the deaths of animals in shelters.
