WOOOP-DE-FRIGGEN-DO!!!! I could care less I really wish people would open their eyes and take off the rose colored glasses and realize that chain stores like this really should not be in business and most people are just to dumb to realize it until it is too late and they have already bought a "pet" from this place.

I was one of these "innocent" by-standers. I bought pets from the conglomerate places and I always thought oh they take such good care of the animals until you start to learn what each animal requires for housing, food, attention, and medical attention. i mean what are these people thinking!!!!

Please some one tell me I am not crazy and that I am not making all this up.

I also know that there are a few people in this forum that run pet shops and do a darn fine job at it. You care about each animal that is there. You pay attention to them you ensure proper diet and housing. This is not directed to you few that don't just care about the "sale". To you few whom are to few I tip my hat to you.

I think some people in this forum would agree with me on this subject.

Oh yah Goosman sorry for using your post as a jumping board for this I really didn't mean to I started writing and all these angry feeling came out. None of them are meant towards you I hope you understand and take on offense I really don't mean any of this to you.





Ok I am off my soap box sorry you guys had to endure that.
i also work at petco...it depresses me some days i have to go in b/c of the idiots that think that they can care for animals, much less snakes. If for some reason I really feel as if that person cant take care of an animal, i will not sell it to them...whether they get pissed or not. I work in the reptile/fish department...so i have to comment on what you said about selling injured or sick animals- we do not sell any injured or sick animals...we pull them off and treat them seperatly and immediately. I know not all stores are like this...It really depends if the company wants to hire someone that wants to work with animals and has some sort of motivation other than $, or a lazy ass who just wants his paycheck at the end of the week.
