I'm personally so glad to see that others have or are having an opposite experience that I did at this store, and yes it is always a store by store basis...but I can't support in any way a chain that financially endorses Chinchilla farms which are the same as pup mills...
Again I'm relieved to hear so many others are aware of these things and seeing good practices...I'd hope that when something isn't up to par everyone would take to get loud, to contact not only the manager but then corporate to make issue...when enough people push you see changes in business practices.
I'd go to an ethical big box over a local pet store that was sub-par in the care of their animals any day too. I guess I forget how lucky I am to have 4 local pet stores here that are so wonderful! Where ever we spend our money we are by default supporting the practices of those places, encouraging them, weather we openly do it vocalize otherwise...the power of the mighty dollar.
