YT 1000 Club Member | I'm not really surprise. Everyone shops there (petco and the others, also) because they don't sell dogs/cats but no one never questions them about the smaller animals (guinea pigs, mouse, ferrets, hamsters, etc.).. I'm pretty sure each individual store doesn't have a small breeder to supply them with an amount of animals. It would be more sufficient for a large breeder to supply all of the stores.... No one really thinks about that because they love dogs/cats more and don't really care about the animals that don't have and won't get. Again, not surprise! (FYI: i didn't see the video also) Last edited by love_me_cody; 01-24-2008 at 12:05 PM. |

| That breaks my heart. Growing up we had a local pet store, and rather than buying from breeders, they raised them themselves and if you had a gerbil or guinea pig that had babies they would buy the babies (for about 2 or 3 dollars probably) but the conditions were so much better they were played with and loved. One of the owners was actually a vet and her pets came to work often so they weren't alone...It was such a far cry from Petsmart, It just breaks my heart to see those videos.

| Very sad but not surprising. I am wondering if Peta is releasing this video at this time just to save face for the fact that they killed 97% of the companion animals that they "adopted". It is a shame though what animals have to go through just so these big pet store corps can make a profit on them. |

| That was so difficult for me to watch -- especially the first video. I had to stop when they showed that guy neutering the male rabbit and the rabbit was kicking his legs. The poor rabbit wasn't even fully put under!! I had to stop because I literally felt like I was going to vomit. I'm so done with Pets Mart and Petco.

| I honestly never thought of the birds, hamsters, etc coming from a mill like that.. I'm so used to our local shops buying from local ppl like one said on hamsters my gawd when i was younger my dang hamsters were having babies non stop and my local pet store bought them from me. Same as my pups and my cats.. I hate that PetSmart & PetCo would ever do something like that.. With the mills getting backing by the nations top pet suppliers no wonder they mock us.. |

| It just disturbs me so deeply that these scumbags don't realize or care that these are LIVING BEINGS!!!
