This is why we shouldnt buy animals PLEASE RESCUE!!!!

Pet owners nationwide filed suit this week against Ohio-based company Petland, Inc. for selling customers sick puppies, accorind to a story on Channel 5.

The federal lawsuit claims the company and its suppliers, including Hunte Corp. of Goodman, Mo., misled customers into believing that puppies with health and behavioral problems came from the finest breeders when in reality they came from puppy mills.
Curious to know if anyone has had this happen?
