You don't get turned on in gyms, nature reserves, and animal shelters?Why would a pet store have anything of interest to me? Never seen an adult canine at a pet shop for sale much less a mare of any size.
Very well said. Thank you for the feedback.No wtf
I like the smell of all the treats and grooming supplies the most. But I also like the smell of sweat and piss on humans so I guess it's not a far stretch to also enjoy pet stores, gyms, nature preserves, among other places...Pet stores smell weird because of all the differnet animals packed together and all the foods and treats they have around. I love the way my dog smells, but those mall pet stores make me want to hurl. Places like Petco smell like a normal store... so... yea... that's a no for them as well.
I'm primarily a equine Zoo as my username suggests, now a nature preserve would be a yes as I also love deer ❤You don't get turned on in gyms, nature reserves, and animal shelters?
I'm sorry I grew up in cities lol no wildlife
Hmm. That's interesting. Most kinks turn me on in public. Most people. Most animals too. I live for the experience. I live for the possibility of this next lay being the best lay I've ever had. Lol. Nah, but I like to give everyone an opportunity because you never know who you might fall in love with. Sex is typically separate from love for me, but I enjoy both.Typically I don’t usually get turned in by dogs in public or anything. For me I guess the best way to explain it would be it’s treated the same way as humans are, I’m not turned on by every or even most dogs/people I see but sometimes there’ll be a cute one. everyone else I just see as a person/dog and I don’t think sexually about them
I never knew that. They're just so prominent where I'm from. I didn't grow up around animals so my exposure was limited. My experiences with petting animals in pet stores were good ones though. And all the walks down the trails in the nature preserves were also very cool. Then again, there were only small preserves and no real nature areas left within kilometers/miles of the city. You can find fault in anything. Yes, big chain store bad. Me very sorry for loving a childhood memory :/ but ya bro, down with the capitalistic pet store monopoly. When's the union meeting, prez.Pet stores, at least here in America, have a track record of animal neglect. Fish dying from unclean tanks/no food, rodents dying from disease, puppies being bought from back yard breeders, and all kinds of other stuff. At least all the big chain pet stores around my area. So I try to never step foot in one myself. It's honestly depressing.
They do! But you can't take on too much responsibility. It's hard not to take on so much when you have a lot of love to give... But you have to resist the urge to help sometimes. You can't save the world. You're one person. However, you can encourage others to pay it forward by showing others the beauty in life and nature.I just want to hug them all. Really they all deserve a good home

My state didn't, they seemed healthy to me in my area a few times I've been to them. I don't avoid them forever but I tend to avoid themPet stores that sell animals are depressing as hell, they're always sick and lethargic. Can't remember the last time I've walked past a fish tank that didn't have dead fish in it.
I understand that feeling. I used to volunteer a lot at shelters (Both people and animal) and after a few muggings, rapings, and maulings later I figured out that not everyone wants to be saved. Sometimes the only thing you can offer them is a little of your time and compassion. You don't have to go above and beyond for everyone. You should reserve those for the special cases, the ones that really hit home. Schizophrenic old lady trying to understand her husband's death... An agressive dog with incontinence... Typically I try to find the ones that I relate to, but it's hard when they're so lovable looking.It's mainly why I avoid pet related matters like stores/shelters. It makes me sad to see so many souls missing out on great lives. You can only choose one or two.

agressive dog with incontinence...
My girl was somewhat neglected and had some trust issues due to her loneliness. But I turned her around. Was the most rewarding experience in my life.As someone who adopted a dog with aggression issues, I'm so glad I did it but god damn I can see why they don't get adopted now
I don't shop at pet stores anymore I buy everything from Walmart or Amazon because I can find cheaper and usually better quality products other than what ever petsmart sells.
Not where I'm from everything can be found cheaper but that also would depend on the brads of stuff you want. Like I tend to lean more towards the more expensive side anyway when it comes to food and treats but I can find the same stuff at the local grocer for a few bucks less than spending extra money on gas going 45 minutes away to the nearest petsplace which may have the same stuff but 2 dollars more. Inflation hasn't been kind lately.Interestingly enough, my experience has been the opposite. Food, dental treats etc. all seem to be cheaper at petsmart here than anywhere online. Especially the dental stuff seems to be 1.5x the cost or more on Amazon.
