Why I won't buy from a pet store

[wilomn]

Some of you are missing the forest for the trees. I think you're doing it on purpose.

The cost is irrelevant to this conversation but is not irrelevant in determining whether or not a store is going to take it to a vet. That's just the way it is.

And for those of you too dense to have gotten it the first few times, let me reiterate: get FACTS first THEN take action. Don't just react to what you see, unless of course your goal is to look good to those who also react to emotion before knowing anything about a given situation. If that was the goal, a couple of you were quite successful.

Call whomever you wish, just remember that you are also adding fuel to a fire with uniformed accusations.

And the whole baby comparison, still stupid. If you want to take it to brass tacks, don't kill mosquitoes, don't swat flies, don't clean your kitchen counters (there are living bacteria there) and eat nothing that ever drew breath, ingested any type of food or drank any liquid. You can't have it both ways if you're being honest. If ALL life is sacred, then ALL life is sacred. A dying ball python is worth no more, nor less, than the tick you pull off your ass and smash for being a tick.

Your high horses have made a mess all over this thread. Who's going to clean the crap up? You who made it or will you be leaving your crap for someone else to take care of?
