Petco/Petsmart?

Its not a matter in supporting animals, those TAX deductable donations buy them immunity from demonstration by protesters and other AR activist actions.

Maybe, but I don't feel writing a letter was a waste of time.

That's a good idea for them to help fight the ban, but it is strange that Petsmart and Petco would support HSUS when this ban is not in their own best interest. I wonder if they've talked themselves into thinking they will be exempt somehow and that it won't affect their sales. Not only do they sell supplies. They also sell snakes. I saw some on their website even if not every branch store sells them.
