People that don't know much about clothing will buy clothes from Zellers (no offense to those who do, just trying to make a point). The clothing does not have good quality, but because it appears clean and is worn neatly on a mannequin; people trust it and will pay the cost, even though it is visibly overpriced, let's say, $20. On the other hand, it is easy to buy a second hand Banana Republic shirt, which is great quality that you trust, for $4. Just because it has been worn lightly doesn't mean it won't satisfy you with warmth and style.

Now, people that don't know much about pets would purchase a cute pet displayed nicely with an unknown background. People pay three times the amount SPCA would charge for a pet. SPCA is cheaper to purchase a pet, SPCA is kinder to their animals and SPCA gives a better background and knowledge of the pet; rather than a high school kid who works at Petcetera for $9 an hour that has no idea how long a parrot will live for.

C'mon people. Do we really need more clothes manufactured? Look at the size of those thrift stores. They have new stock coming in everyday. Every time you purchase a piece of branded clothing from retail stores, you are sending a message to those multi-millionaire companies telling them, "Yes! The society wants more!" and they will mass-produce even more. You are supporting a multi-millionaire industry and you don't even know it. Every little bit you reduce, reuse and recycle will help the environment. And these animals; Do we really need more mass-bred dogs? There are dogs, cats, rabbits and more waiting patiently for you to adopt them and bring them to a welcoming home. They will provide just as much love and affection as the ones you would normally buy from a pet store.

This is for a project. Im sorry it doesnt answer your question, but animal overpopulation does concern me.
