Another store owner might have thought it was a good idea for her store. We sure shouldn't be judging the Amish by this one encounter. The Amish I know are very intelligent, hard working people. I think we can learn a lot from them and their more frugal means of living. Just because their religious beliefs are different than ours doesn't make them a bad people. I have never heard of the dog problem mentioned so again shouldn't be judging the entire Amish population by one incident.
