| 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. WTF??? And the worst part is that it was the last one left! That means people were actually buying this! 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... |

| 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 |

| Down right mean. Maybe you should have just told the manager and then asked for a contact for someone that could actuallly do something about it. |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | 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.

| 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. |

| 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. Here is a link http://www.scottsdog.com/sntrtrde.html |
