Angry "Pet stores that don't have sick animals and have good conditions are good."

I am SICK of people saying stuff like, ""Pet stores that don't have sick animals and have good conditions are good." Recently, I received a comment that was similar to saying that on my youtube video. I have received several of them, and I'm SICK of them. And then, people say the same thing over and over again, and then other people ignore my response to the people who basically said the same thing, and comment on it like I never replied to the people. I am SICK of people saying that pet stores that are clean are good. I am SICK of people saying that pet stores that don't sell sick animals are good.

Re: "Pet stores that don't have sick animals and have good conditions are good."

Just remember that there are people out there that no one will ever be able to convince that pet stores that sell pets are not good. They just don't "get" the big picture behind the petstores that sell animals.

If I were you, I'd just delete the bad responses on your video and put links up to articles explaining why petstores are bad and tell people to read them.

I wouldn't delete these responses. Keep them up, but reply to them as politely and calmly as possible.
It's just because I think if you delete their responses, they may feel as though you are turning a blind eye to this - they might think you have no reply.

I guess all you can do is keep trying to educate people... not everyone will listen but hopefully some will. I think Ly has a good suggestion of adding links too.

Re: "Pet stores that don't have sick animals and have good conditions are good."

One person at a time, thats all it takes...despite the fact that I do work at petsmart, and I am now lad of the petcare department, I educate people as much as possible to think about what their getting into (as in buying an animal.) When they know the truth and all the responsiblities they definetly do think twice about buying an animal.

Re: "Pet stores that don't have sick animals and have good conditions are good."

I agree with guineapigfan9000, don't delete the messages. That is like if you posted on a video with a guinea pig in horrible conditions(owner thinking otherwise), and they deleted your comment because they didn't want to hear it again. Just flip flop your own situation to other people's and think of how you would feel if they just deleted your post. You can't stop what other people do but you can do it yourself. Basicly, no matter how wrong their opinion is to you, you have to respect that it is THEIR's. You can try to convince them otherwise but don't get upset. They are simply doing what they think is right, like you are.

Thank you!!!! you don't make it seem like a bussiness that's good cause most pet store employes will say any thing to get them to buy one. So THANK YOU for being one of the few people that's tells the truth!!!!!

Re: "Pet stores that don't have sick animals and have good conditions are good."

I also forgot to say that one of the people who was commenting about pet stores being good was a breeder who might've supplied the pet store. I ended up blocking them because I was getting sick of them after a few comments. I also deleted their posts so nobody knew about it. I've set the video to not post comments until I approve them.
