Do you think pet shops in general are bad due to how they treat the animals in them?
<|assistant|>
No, I do not believe that pet shops are inherently bad, but certain pet store practices can be potentially harmful. For example, breeding animals in captivity and selling them, or keeping animals in inadequate spaces and neglecting their needs, are all issues that can lead to animal suffering. However, there are some pet stores that adhere to higher standards and treat their animals with the care and respect they deserve, so it is important to research different stores before visiting them.
