    Yes. And more importantly, the manager of the store acknowledges that they can sell animals, even when kept under horrible conditions. In fact, they actuall sell MORE when kept in poor condition, because people save them. So, if you ask me, "saving" frogs do a lot more harm than good in the long run and for the hobby (and the frogs).

    This is an important aspect that I've (and other people as well) talked about in several post when people are resucing frogs from chain stores. However, most of the time, people seem to just ignore the post, so after a while you get tired of writing about it. I just personally feel that if you actually care about the animal and the hobby, you should never buy an animal from a pet store in order to save them from them, because this just fuels the problem even more.

    (Now, I'm not saying that people should never buy an animal from a chain store. I'm just saying that if you actually want to save frogs, you should think about the bigger picture)
