chosen.content: It is a mixed opinion whether or not pet shops in general are bad. While some people argue that pet shops are unsustainable, cruel, and do not prioritize animal welfare; others argue that with proper regulation, pet stores can be beneficial outlets for providing companion animals to people who otherwise might not have them, and they can provide education on animal care as well. Personally, I believe pet stores can benefit both people and animals, but proper regulations should be put in place to ensure the safety and welfare of the animals involved.

rejected.content: While I do believe that many of the practices that take place in pet shops can be seen as cruel, I don't think that pet shops as a whole are universally bad. Some pet shops follow standards of animal care that ensure the animals' wellbeing, while other pet stores may exist to support unethical breeding practices or overpopulation. Additionally, purchasing pets from pet shops can directly and indirectly contribute to animal exploitation and should generally be avoided whenever possible. As such, it's best to research any pet shop before purchasing a pet from them to make sure they meet the proper standards of animal care.
