Awful Day

Woohoo! I'm so glad you called and gave those last 10 a good fighting chance. I am sure without your intervention they would all have died soon. I hope the pet store will learn a lesson from this, and I hope you will stop in occasionally to check on the conditions of their reptiles.

I do belive that they will be periodicly checking in on them. But I think that as a pet store they aren't talking about keeping rptile there for awhile.

If they stop carrying reptiles, even better. Then they can't abuse or neglect them. And it's good to hear that animal control should be monitoring them. You may have prevented more reptile deaths and illnesses than we can know.

Yeah it makes me feel really good to know that. I would have liked to seen the woman that was suposed to be takeing care of the reptiles taken to jail for animal cruelty but at least she can't be cruel to them any more.

Agreed. If we can't get what we want, hopefully we can at least get what's important.

You are the man Rage!
That was a very nice thing you did, Im sure all of us will be keping our eyes open when vivsiting local shops, and will follow your example if something looks realy bad. Way to go! :P

That is AWEsome news! And a lesson for all of us to not assume that our local animal-cruelty organizations only care and take actions for the warm, fuzzy types. When we see cruelty and neglect on that level, we need to take action like you did...it's the only way any of it stands a chance of changing!

I couldn't agree more JLC. I just started reading this thread today and it made me sick. They were like that because people working there are afraid of snakes? MY GOD, you work in a pet store!!!!!!! youve gotta be kidding me!! AGHHHHH I just feel like screaming right now. But thank god demonic was able to save what he could of these poor things. Did you say it was petland? There is already a boycott for this organization out because of the puppies they order from puppy farms. And now this? I think its time to put petland under. Maybe we should start a petition....

Yeah the International Petland. Can't stand that place. Thanks agian guys for all your words of wisdom. And you apprication for what I have done. Being a part of the herp community in my mind is being apart of every reptiles life you come in contact with. No matter how some. I have been doing some research into becomeing a herp vet. And starting to make some changes around here in ohio. I have also been think of starting a herp club down here where beginers and advanced keepers can share knowledge on there reptile because there are some many reptile keepers around here its time to get them in the action.

well...did you say that the humane society took them all? Because I called them and they still have ball pythons and corn snakes for sale. Which kinda makes me a little angry that they would still be selling them
