Bad petstore..

If you read my previous post(s) before yours, it states that I do see that it is the problem. One way or another I am going to be calling animal control on them and making sure that they pay the price- and in my oppinion are hopefully shut down.

Yes, I want the snake- to rescue it, and because its beautiful- but I also stated that I may just wait untill after it is siezed by the humane society before adopting it.

It's not that no one gets it, it's just the initial reaction. Their first thought is "I have to save these poor animals" Atleast she is calling animal control, or atleast I think she is. People who buy animals in conditions like this aren't intentionally suporting these people, they just think about the animals. I'm sure now that she has thought about it, just calling animal control and not buying the snakes seams like the better choice.

Yes, rather I end up with a snake or not I had made up my mind to call animal control, and I did after I left there- but they were closed. My uncle retired from the one in my county, and he said to not bother leaving a message, but to just call them as soon as they open to file the complaint so that I have time to exsplain the severty of the situation, and get them to get there quicker.

One way or another though, I would like the snake, and my friend wants the other one. But rather we get them or not (Well, I cant speak for her but atleast for myself), as long as they get out of there and get the proper vet care they need- along with every other animal in there...

Even most of their fish looked bad/sick- and their a "fish" store... It's sick- I just dont see why people would not report something like that- or more importantly why would you surrender your animal to a place like this!!

So how did this turn out? I have a petstore near me that is barely keeping things afloat. It's just ok enough to get by not having animal control called. I hate going in there, and I'm convinced they are supporting a puppy mill.
They too have a nice fish room, but everything else is just soo sick and depressing. I should stop by sometime and see if things haven't shaped up.

I know- but then we went back and took a closer look.. Eww..

dang it sorry, I pressed the wrong button and posted before I typed anything. Oops. Anyways, there are tons of people that dont understand what these animals need, and unfortunately there are places like this EVERYWHERE. And its hard not to barge in and get the animals out of that situation, but that is one of the worst things that you can do. Everyones pretty much covered it so theres not much else I can say. Best wishes for those animals.

Yea, today I know that our local animal control went in there- but I dont know whats heppend yet, if anything even has. They probably got one of those 24hour notice things, but I'm going to see if my uncle can find out whats going on tommorrow and let me know.
