Why PETA Thinks Snakes Shouldn't be Pets (Disputed)

[tttaylorrr]

I would agree that chain stores really do need to step up their animal care, but not all local pet shops operate in this way. In fact, even my nearby Petsmarts are very well versed on caring for snakes, fish, and other "non-traditional" pets. Of course, I try to avoid purchasing from them since not all of their locations are as nice, but they are the only practical option for my area. Then there's the closest Petco, which makes me sick to my stomach and is a very good example of a very bad chain store.

That's a good idea actually, it'll save some money. Thanks!

totally agree! my local petsmart actually does very well with their beeps, and i always check on them to make sure they're doing okay. however i've heard many horror stories to consider my store's care atypical.

great care is not always the case, but even one instance of neglect is enough for me to think hard about where my money goes.
