Again I will say not all petstores are negligent. I would LOVE for any animal authorities to walk into my store right now and tell me my animals are neglected. In fact, the animal shelter animal control works out of have animals in my store for adoption.
It should be a case by case basis just as we do for breeders being raided or individual animal cruelty cases. Lumping all box box stores together is not right.
Am am I sticking up for that store? Nope...if they are cruel to the animals close that store down or fire all the employees. Have PROPER training from an outside company source.
i just want to say i always value your opinion on the topics of big chain pet stores as you have an insight most of us don't. thanks for always sharing your viewpoint in these threads.
