Thank you for writing an unbiased and accurate article. I am disturbed however by the aggressive and mean-spirited comments of my fellow citizens. Eric Caplan isnt an owner of a puppy mill (he is the owner of a Pet Store), he doesnt abuse animals (he is an animal lover), and he isnt against rescue organizations and animal rights advocates (he encourages pet adoption). The ARL admitted that the Caplans made every effort to work with them, offering kennel space for their dogs, but they refused the help. Hmmm Petland has a successful program called Adopt-A-Pet, http://www.petland.com/CommunityService/AdoptAPet.htm , to place homeless pets from local animal shelters. Should be a no-brainer, right? The Caplans are experienced professional pet shop owners that have a true passion for their life work. Animal rights advocates - I urge you to keep fighting for ethical breeding practices and reformed licensing laws but please stop harassing the responsible pet store owners that are outstanding members of our community.
