Mad at Petsmart! What is your opinion on this?
 

Let's see what you guys think and then I'll know if I am overreacting or not...

Today I went into Petsmart looking for cute stuff for my secret exchange buddies. Then over by the training area there is a stand of things. There is a bag of 3 MOUSE TRAPS! Packaged for the purpose of being a training aid to deter your dog from doing bad things!! There is a picture of a garbage can with a trap on top, then a picture of a couch of a trap there and it shows a dog getting snapped and not liking it.:mad: WTF??? And the worst part is that it was the last one left! That means people were actually buying this!:mad:

I was pissed! Actually I was sick, I walked around the store, thinking how awful that was, I put all of my merchandise back. I was extremely tempted to pick up that bag and take it to the manager and ask why the hell they promote animal abuse??? But, I know that manager has nothing to do with what is on their floor and he would just put it back on the shelf once I left anyway, so I didn't. I decided if someone needs to be cussed out, it is some corporate person right? So I did leave there thinking they are not getting a dime of my money. And I AM going to complain to someone atleast in an email.

Now, you guys tell me, what you think of this...

WOW! I'm speechless! :thumbdown

wth? couldnt that be dangerous? thats sick!!!!

I think it could be VERY dangerous! I can't imagine what would happen to a yorkie or other small breed dog if their leg or muzzle got snapped:(

not to mention someone putting it out to "train" their dog and a small child grabs a hold of it!

I'm sure they will pull them after a dog gets hurt and they get their (__;__)'s sued! I think I would have said something and made it known that I would not buy from them again.

Wonder who came up with that ideal. Thats just crazy.

Go back to the store and take your camera,take a picture blow it up put it on a poster or several and picket in front of the store.
They will listen then.Also we all need to write corporate about this.I am going in the morning and look at my petsmart.
I COULDN'T FIND IT ON THE WEBSITE.

So was it an actual mouse trap or was it something that looked/designed like a mouse trap?

They have suggestion boxes you should have written what you think. Also you can go on line a voice a complaint. I think I will check ours out tomorrow and if I see something like this, you bet I will complain.

It looked exactly like a mouse trap. Wood with the metal hardware.

That is awful I am going to see if My Petsmart has them. I would definitely complain

Ok, I found them online. There is actually something I didn't see, that you attach to it, and it's like a paddle of sorts. It says there is no risk of it harming the animal. Sorry! I feel better now, although I still don't really like it.:rolleyes:
