This is why I hate petstores. But at the same time I dont hate them. I buy their animals because I have no other choice I cant order online anymore. Not allowed.

Not all petstores are like this though. I have worked at mine for 3 years and have never seen anything like what you've described. I've seen animals get sick and I've even seen some die, but this is rare and those that do get sick get taken care of. But I think often it's not that hard to figure out what kind of pet store you're walking into.

Horrible experiences in the pet-industry aren't really a competition, you know.

I worked on a production-scale rabbit ranch. What I did in the course of my job would probably curl toes here (as it does in pretty much any polite company) - which is why I don't discuss it.

We never said it was. But its disgusting and appaling so we were sharing our concerns. I do admit you're probably right. Ived heard things about the rabbit industries. I keep one myself. I find it appaling what they do. Lucky for me I dont work in any of those places. I couldnt handle it. Its just sick and cruel as its cruel to harm any animal of any species. Heck. I dont like cats, but Iam not going to hurt them. Its just pointless and inhumane. But I keep hearing that word "inhumane", it seems to me if alot of "humans" do it. Its pretty humane to me.... right???? There should be a different word for that meaning.

I did not mean to support a competition, if it appeared I did. I was simply defending the idea that some pet stores are good, and some are bad; some employees are knowledgable, and others aren't; and some customers are willing to listen while others refuse.

No, I seriously don't think you did or any of us for that matter. We just stated facts and experiences. I also agree on you about what you just said and had been saying. It goes on both parts.

1beataway - No, it didn't seem as though you were supporting any such thing. The point I was attempting to make, very subtly/politely, is that some of us see/have seen enough horrible animal-related stuff to last a lifetime, and pretty much the last thing we want to do is see horror stories dragged out, and given a shiny new coat of awful on a forum. You did not post any such stories.
