but the thing is if I don't buy it... someone that knows almost nothing about them may buy it and then the pet store will still make a profit and there will still be a new one to take it's place... it doesn't matter if I get it or someone else does

and I have been planning on getting another BP anyways so why not get one that is not doing so well from a pet store that doesn't know what it's doing and give it a better life... I am not saying that every time I go in there and there is a bp that has some problem I am going to buy it
