Saved him from petsmart today

Yes but you can contribute to it, and "saving" an animal from a pet shop does just that, if no one buys it they won't stock it...

Thanks for the comment i agree 100% your only supporting bad care for the animal. Why would they change the way they are doing things when people buy them anyway as they keep them? Pet stores care about the money not the animal. It is sad and hard to walk away but i would rather one animal suffer than hundreds more. I feel the same about wild caught animals vs. captive bred. Wild caught may be cheaper but if there are thousands being captive bred than there is no need to add to the problem of collecting wild animals for the pet trade just to save a few dollars. If your that concerned about cash maybe you shouldnt get one to begin with.
