I am so mad I can't stand it. I know I don't post often but everybody please check out this news story. I have family up in NY and everyone up there are mad as you know. I will personally never buy another product from any PetCo store again.
Petco Pets Die In Flood | WBNG-TV: News, Sports and Weather Binghamton, New York | Local They just left them there to die.
Petco in Johnson City, NY was flooded this week and over half of the animals inside died. (the local news is investigating as I'm writing this. I know an employee who has confirmed what I'm saying is true) Obviously, this is very tragic news. However, the real story is that the managers of Petco followed "store policy" and would not let employees take any of the animals home or attempt to rescue the animals after the flooding began. This same parking lot flooded in 2006. We were told for DAYS before the flooding that any place flooded in 2006 would be worse this time around. This store had more than ample time to evacuate the animals. There are local shelters that were taking any pet ... even from pet stores to keep them safe during the flood. PetSmart right down the road had it's employees kayak in and remove all of their animals. I for one will never be shopping at Petco ever again and hope they face charges for leaving their animals inside. I know it;s a horrific image but all I can think about is my poor cat being locked up in a cage and having flood waters rise slowly until he drowned
The Petco facebook wall is blowing up with outraged citizens. The picture was taken before the river's crested so the water got even higher.
