The decision by Petland to phase out the sale of puppies and kittens is the right move according to customers and an animal rights advocate. Actions Speak Louder Calgary, a puppy advocate group, was pleased to hear the news. “It’s a great step forward,” said Jennifer Kaiser, co-founder of ASLC. “It will definitely help bring more attention to rescue pets and pet overpopulation."
A Petland spokesperson said the decision was a business move. “We like having our kennel and we are going to change with it and move forward,” said Robert Church, a spokesman for Petland “It’s a huge shift for us, but it’s a change.” He added online sale websites like Kijiji cut into the business over the last three or four years, something they couldn’t compete with.
