Petsmart alledgely leaves animals dyeing for days.

Well, the "investigator" was a PETA member, so I would take this story with a huge grain of salt. Not exactly an impartial source.

PETA, I never agreed how they thought about things..So, I do not find PETA crediable at all..

My honest opinion, that article is a load of bs..and PETA doesnt have a leg to stand on. They really should stop wasting the legal officials time. Its just another move to bring attention to themselves. The article states that the animals were being treated...and if they are coming in sick, helloooo....what is petsmart (the local store) suppose to do about it, other than treat the animals as they did.

Anytime you have a large number of animals housed together , they are going to fight, they are going to get sick, and they have the potential to die. Its only logical. Petsmart, like any other chain store houses these animals to sale, not to make pets out of them. Thats what the buyer purchases them for.

Even if the claims in the article are true , in which I do hope the employees did treat the animals, PETA is going to have a tough fight on there hands.

Maybe I have a bit of a higher understanding because of my line of work as to the how and why of things like this... Wonder what PETA would have to say about my job...lol.

Nuff said... even though its not the entire episode i think you get the idea

It's not petsmart, taken from link "PETA submitted a complaint today with the state's attorney's office asking for an investigation into PetCare's treatment of animals." petcare not petsmart.

pardon my acusation then, my petsmart dosnt carry the smaller mammals, they only have fish and Reptiles. they do take fantastic care of them all. nothing dead and I am in there quite often

It still pisses me of that they worry about the small fuzzy things, and seem to have no qualms against all the fish that die, or are sold to less than proper homes. Mabey Ill give peta a call and tell them they are jerks for only protecting critters people thing are "cute"

Is this possibly a franchise business?

I agree that if they have rotting animals in the cage, something should be done. However if its that bad..why are the doors still open? I dont think there is a single person that would buy stuff from a petstore tha has a large quantity of dead rotting things in there cages or tanks... Sounds like the humane society should be in on this, and if things were that obvious..they wouldnt have to send someone in undercover..

Just my 2 cents,
