Do you think buying the animal will prompt the store to keep them better? No, they will continue to keep them the way that they do now...with hopes that you come and 'rescue' another one.

Their treatment of the animal is sad and cruel but just put it out of your mind and never walk into the store again....

...or if you want...stand by the cage and tell everyone that walks by about how horrible the store cares for their animals....until they toss you out
LOL! I have actually been asked to leave a Petland before. I agree with the other posters. Please do not buy this animal out of pity. It is a vicious cycle that will only continue until people show that they won't continue to support this behavior. Much like the puppy mill industry/pet stores that sell them.
