    Default Shocking surprise in pet shop (graphic)

    So yesterday I went to get some pinkies at this exotic pet store and

    what I discovered was very shocking. All of their frogs aquariums were very dry and had dead crickets in their water bowls. The bowls looked as if they hadn't been changed for days. Then like if it couldn't get any worse I found a dead pacman in an aquarium and the workers there had no idea it was dead. It had flies all over it. The store isn't very big at all so for them to be careless and not even spray the frogs was surprising.

    I went ahead and took a picture for those of u who care to see this dead pacman. I have honestly never seen a dead pacman beforeName:  IMAG0361-1.jpg

    This pet store is worthy of being reported for animal cruelty if it's as bad as you say it is and from the looks of it, it is. That's just not acceptable. Poor thing.

    Man, this sucks. The poor frog probably died of slow dehydration.

    poor frogs, i would report it if i were you.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    If you report them, show them that pic. They might actually do something since there's evidence of the neglect.

    This is just horrible!
    I've always wanted to open up my own pet store just to show people how these frogs and other exotics SHOULD be cared for, not just trying to make the quick dollar... That's really heartbreaking

    The pic is confusing the **** out of me. It looks like TWO photos blended together or maybe a stylish photoshop ghost frog? Maybe I just had a stroke (would suck being an otherwise healthy 26 year old), but the photo doesn't look right, but not for the reasons you described.

    Poor thing : c that's so messed up. If they don't have the time or the heart to take car of their animals then why work or own a exotic store in the first place.

    There was a glare on the glass. That's why the picture looks that way

    the picture was taken from the outside of the tank so there is a reflection of the floor + whats behind Infamous as he took the pic. I would say talk to the manager and threaten to report it to the aspca but if the toad went so long to actually die and the tanks are dry its obvious neglect. And neglect doesnt happen over the span of 24 hours, it happens over weeks, months, years. However long it has been goin on, its obviously been TOO long. This is b***s*** and deserves swift consequences not a chat and a handshake so i say immediately report it because as Pluke has said, if its alredy killed one pet you know the neglect and carelessness has been affecting the entire store for sometime.

    It's pretty stupid on their part because I actually bought my fantasy and pixie from their shop a long time ago and they were telling me about how I needed to keep them moist etc and then for them to have their animals this way was hard to understand.
