You are saving them: you're saving them from being yanked in and out of their cage and handled by a never ending chain of retail maulers. They're treated like display items in there hold out of their cages to get into peoples hands as fast as possible in the hopes that the people will buy them in return the animals get maulled. There is the risk of spreading disease does the risk of being dropped it goes on and on. When I was a little girl I wanted to run a pet shop because I loved animals and I wanted everybody else to love them as much as I can. Growing up however I realize that I could never run a pet shop because I could never trust anybody To take the most excellent care that i would expect.
if I was the last place I would want to be peddled would be at Petsmart.
