Before I started my first article on the name "Petland", I only saw articles with very little information. I figured I'd just make two articles with that name, since both companies are unaffiliated. If you have any suggestions on how to improve this article (including its citations and wording) so that it's in a neutral point of view, please let me know and I'll make some changes.

After reading this article I was concerned over the reasoning Sjkop123 created this article. I did some research on Petland and found many things including what the HSUS believes and also other pieces concerning their charity work, community service, fund drives, etc. With all this why has Sjkop123 left out these facts and paid very close attention to HSUS criticism? Good question. Since the bulk of the user’s work was criticism and has a fascination with Petland contributions, I believe this article may be an attempt to discredit this company. Sjkop123 offers their opinion and not facts by the agenda-driven contribution.
To better educate Sjkop123:
I do hope this helps Sjkop123 better understand Wiki policies and article purposes. I will try my best to make this a true Wiki article and offer facts, not opinions.

Thanks, everyone. I deleted the Criticism section and changed it to Legal Issues. Hope this helps. Sjkop123 ( talk) 04:28, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. My apologies to everyone for any criticisms based on this corporation of pet stores, which is why I removed it from this article.
Oh, and I just found out that Aquarium Adventures is now owned by Petland. Sjkop123 ( talk) 17:29, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Reads like an advertisement. Section on animal welfare seems to be cherry-picking the few positive news articles about Petland while ignoring the numerous negative ones. Not to mention the statement that "many" locations offer only rescue animals is sourced to a newspaper article about a single location.
Until this can be rewritten, it needs to be flagged for lack of objectibity. 2601:441:8101:680:4CEF:DD27:5067:25F3 ( talk) 02:06, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
Added NPOV tag. I have no issue with Petland's side being told here, but with the amount of negative publicity regarding this one retailer's puppy sourcing practices, there definitely needs to be something about it in this article. 2601:441:8101:680:4CEF:DD27:5067:25F3 ( talk) 02:13, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
