Ugh, Petsmart.. dont get me started. My best friend used to work there and she would tell me horror stories, the stupid people looking to buy animals. It should be illegal for people to buy animals if theyre uneducated, at least.. like.. for example to put a fancy goldfish in a bowl?! Omg! thats ridiculous! Its like putting a dog in a closet! Its cruelty!! I remember she came home one day infuriated. A customer wanted to buy a chameleon for his sons school project. Just to sit in a little habit he built... thats it!! She said no, they went to another employee and they were able to buy hermit crabs. Petsmart doesnt care, nor do they care enough to train there employees about proper animal care!

And its not just the big companies either! I have a few shops around here called Petworld... and its horrid. I was told that one of the employees my best friend currently works for (a natural foods pet store) went into there and noticed the Chameleon that was for sale was COVERED in Mites, to the point it probably couldnt be healed. And she asked the woman nearby if they were treating it, she said no! She said NO!! And that infuriated this person and she asked the woman to speak to the manager cause that was animal neglect, and the petworld employee replied.. "I am the manager" .... ... then she just walked out, cause that was just... too much

I think she should've called someone.

That or people need to crack down harder on Licensing people to sell pets.


Uhhh... sorry for the rant. It just drives me CRAZY...
