Is it better to get a puppy from a pet store?

Most pet stores get their puppies from puppy mills (a puppy mill is a large-scale breeding operation that produces large numbers of puppies for profit). They are crammed in cages all day, peeing and pooping in their, barely healthy, bony, very sick. It's a terrible thing!

With breeders, you get to meet the breeders, the puppies and usually their parents.
