Yep. When we found out about them being a big contributor/supporter to that nut job Florida senator Bill Nelson fighting against USARK (Andrew Wyatt, the president, is the one who goes to all the hearings to fight for our rights as snake owners) to get those first snake ban bills passed, we (the reptile community) spread the word about their true cause. A lot of dirt was dug up about the HSUS. They don't even have a single shelter, yet they televise those awful commercials about neglected animals needing help. They're terrible. I try not to deal with any company that supports them.

Each Petsmart store can't really be blamed though. They are a corporation and have to follow the rules. I just wish when it came to the care of the animals someone at corporate would take the time to do the proper research needed. Then change their ridiculous care sheets and policy's so that the animals actually get the care they need.

If you think about the true purpose of HSUS, how they are similar to PETA and are against pet ownership, the fact that they are on the list of "charities" that the donations made at Petsmart go to, and the fact that many if not most Petsmarts do not take proper care of their animals, there is definitely some irony in all of that..
