There is another link which is an actual petsmart site with a list of organizations they contribute to and HSUS is there. It's in my postings somewhere but I can't find it right now.
Regular contributions and a $15,000.00 grant??
I know the economy is bad and you need to work wherever you can get hired but working for petsmart is working for the people who are trying to take your reptiles away from you. Not to mention all pets and animal agriculture.
Remember all the evidence the reptile community dug up on HSUS financially supporting the snake ban bills? Where did that money come from?
I don't care where anyone works and I fully understand defending the right of the employees to politely explain the policy, but I do not believe such a corporate policy should ever be supported or enforced. Especially when the poor naive employees and most likely the store owners/managers, have no real idea of the demons and motives behind it.
I'm going to stop now before I get in trouble. It just angers me that we all worked so hard and are still working to save our pets but there are still too many people out there with blinders on.
Kudos to the OP for saying what you did in that store!
