Thats what I would have thought. The standards must be mighty low here then. Basically all I've gotten from calls and emails is they have a license to be in business, so STFU.Originally Posted by mommanessy247
i thought pet stores went through inspections to make sure they're meeting health and safety guidelines or something...
the pet store i buy my feeders from has numerous inspection certificates taped to their front door and on a wall behind the register as well. although it is a bit cramped with cages and merchandise the animals are in fairly good condition, well, except for the cockatoo. he's plucked his chest feathers and the last time i was there was screaming at the top of his lungs for attention i'm assuming. most of us customers and the other animals in there were cringing from the loudness of it and my ears were ringing.
anyways,
that poor grey. well, poor all of 'em.
i hope you guys are successful in shutting the place down although i dont imagine it's gonna positively alter the fate of any of the surviving critters there if they're not placed in a better environment.
Sucks that there is a good chance most would be euthanized, but its better than being starved to death or having your tail eaten up by a rat and then dying of infection a week later. We would gladly take in what we could. Got a whole empty heated/cooled add on garage that isn't really in use except for a few boxes in the corner that could easily be set up as a QT on very short notice. A trip to Wal-Mart for tubs and some extra Chlorox to clean our plethora of extra tanks that are gathering dust. May not be fancy, but they wouldn't suffer like this. They would always have food, clean water and a couple human beings who care about thier well being!
