Pets are not toys and no, buying one from a Petco is not a good thing.
You're creating demand for them to churn out more rodents from whatever factory operation distributes to these places.
Don't treat the lives of animals like play things for your amusement.
You said it's rich dickheads who keep their business going in the same breath as justifying why you giving them money is okay.
The "20 dollars" would represent a demand for more intensive breeding, how are you not getting this
If you don't understand demand-driven supply chains then there's just no point. Also, since you're not aware else you wouldn't be making such a dumb point, you can still participate in capitalism while making sure that the way you buy pets isn't perpetuating cruel breeding practices :)
do you have a well lit closet or something you're gonna put it in?
