PetLand is at it again!
A city in Kentucky passed a ban on selling puppies directly out of pet stores. FYI, this is how 99% of puppy mill puppies are sold.
PetLand, notorious for being the largest chain puppy mill retailer, is fighting the decision and hoping to make it illegal for local ordinances to attempt to enact anti-puppy mill laws. PetLand is currently fighting similar bills in Indiana and Montana
In the video, the spokeswoman for the pet store apparently said something along the lines that they don't want to sell fixed dogs because they don't want to restrict owner's rights to breed their animals. Of ALL the reasons to not fix your dogs, that was the one you decided to go with? You fucking retard? Clearly shows where their head is at.

@givenup @Tepid_Tapir @Nudhul >can cost over 1000 even for just a dozen hens
are you buying gucci chicken wire or something?
-
@givenup @Nudhul yessss this is one thing that I have yet to come to terms with and why I haven't bought chickens. At the end of the day, the mass farming allows eggs to be cheap as fuck, much more cost effective than any homestead can make it (unless maybe they also mass farm chickens). So if I do it, it will be for the health benefits of the eggs. And I'm just not there yet...

@Tepid_Tapir @Nudhul well, you can give your hens a better life than factory farmed white egg laying hens generally get, if you're buying the cheapest carton of eggs at the store, those hens were raised without much space at all almost guranteed, and almost always in a cage, unless you buy the more expensive eggs like "pasture raised' etc. lot of regulation in what can be labled pasture raised i learned. a lot of the "your home laid eggs cost more than storebought" is up front cost, if you gotta buy materials and or build or buy a coop, that can cost over 1000 even for just a dozen hens.

@Tepid_Tapir @Nudhul it turns out backyard chickens cost more per egg than just buying them at the store, so it's honestly more about a hobby that also feeds you.
-
@Tepid_Tapir @Nudhul even if i sell excess eggs, i might be lucky if it pays me back my feed costs at best, which is nice, since tha tmakes my eggs more or less free for me, but it still involves extra labor that i'm not including in the price.

@Tepid_Tapir its like a pyramid skeem

@Nudhul At first I considered this to be a joke comment. Then I thought about it and it literally is. Pic related.
The backyard breeders generally lose profit, with the puppy mills actually gaining the most profit.

@StumbleDonkey @Tepid_Tapir @Nudhul depends on what you buy, some people can't buidl shit, and would just buy a prebuilt coop, i had a shed that i was allowed to retrofit while i lived with gramps when he was alive, i just put a hole out the back and put up a run, but the run materials still ran me like 500 bux.
