i feel the pain here, i was in petsmart yesterday and i seen a BP that was so emaciated it was sickening. i too asked if they would sell the animal at a lower price (was 119 bucks) and they said no, said they would have there vet look at it.. well i made my mind up right then that i will not buy another product from petsmart ever again. i read all the comments about how not to buy animals from big chain stores and such so i knew i would never buy a healthy animal from but seeing him as thin as he was was just horrible.
