Pet Smart In Peoria Illinois

Rwspear, I must warn you that the manager of Petsmart isn't the friendliest person on the planet and probably won't give two hoots about what you have to say. I used to take animals there for offsite adoption when I worked at a local no-kill shelter, and I found that he is very angry and unfriendly from what I saw. I know you have good intentions, and some people might listen to your concerns, but I highly doubt that you will get anywhere with that guy. But good luck with it and let us know how it goes! I am very curious!
 
Ok. I just called the manager of this store, and politely asked him if he knew that his tank is way overstocked. He said yes he did, and one of the employees will be taking ONE of the fish home. I guess this will have to be good enough, because Im sure I can't do anything else about it. This has been a very interesting thread. I have gotten some great insight and met a bunch of great people. I apprieciate all of the feedback and responses, now if I could only get this much feedback when I actually ask an important question.

Wow!! I am impressed that you even got a response from him, not to mention that he was NICE!! Holy cow. Maybe I misjudged the guy.

Good for you! That took guts.

I also think it's great that you're a Marine and have compassion for your fellow aquatic and living creatures. By your sense of humor, I think you're going to fit in nicely at AC :) Not to mention you have survived your trial by fire, and come out better for it. Again, congrats!

You can get a bachelor's in biology and still know nothing about fish. Heck, you could earn a BS in biology and still not know much about biology!
Just try to get into grad school, though. I was shocked at how much different grad school was. I had to grow up QUICK. And I had already done 2 years of research (including my own projects) as an undergrad.

Thanks for the reassurance plah. lol I'll be in grad school in a few years. I won't be in a science field (archaeology, so cultural-science at best), but you sure know how to make an undergrad feel condifident. :duh:

I'm sure you'll do fine, Dan (I got your name from your blog, hope you don't mind). And archeology IS a science field, if done correctly, which I'm sure you will. I have every confidence in you, I just wanted to point that out. When I was an undergrad, I thought I knew everything, too :cool:

Like I said, I was shocked when I started grad school. That first few months was the hardest of my life, definitely a learning period of "acquiring a new culture" (anthropology reference :)) I was even thinking of dropping out, but am glad I didn't. Otherwise, how else would I get to wave my education around on this forum? :p:

Thanks for the off-topic warning, that was very good of you. I think this entire thread has already gone off-topic, though.

the snooty Marine Biology/Ichthyology Graduate Student,
Paula
