Petsmart Nashville raided for animal cruelty

[Sunnieskys]

agreed. idc that 16-year-old Bobby knows nothing about their animals, and just collects a pay check to buy weed; i expect him to. i care that a manager walks into that store every day and is responsible for EVERY LIVING THING inside that store - people AND animals - and either doesn't care about the animals or doesn't know. NEITHER is excusable.

someone from management needs to be fired, and they need to find out who allowed that person to manage animals, and fire them as well.

This I agree with. I know when I walk in, even before I clock in I look at all of my animals. I clock in then walk them again, thoroughly inspecting each habitat, who opened them, and follow up if something was not correct. This includes fish and bettas.

Also so keep in mind we provide a "temporary" habitat for these animals. It is my job (and other managers at other stores) to provide as close to optimal conditions as a permanent habitat. I have to make adjustments like misting the BP's every hour to maintain humidity which then gets the bedding wet. So now I have to change it every two days so it doesn't mold or create scale rot.

These are the things managers need to know. Animals come first before my customers. I tell people no. I also wont sell a reptile until I see they have a thermostat in their Amazon cart and paid for. Not an option. You don't have it, you're not taking one of my animals home sorry.

Do do I get in trouble...yes. Is it worth it...yes!

Dont to get me started on goldfish......
