I don't think I've ever even seen a Petsmart.
So while I will not shop there, it will have no impact on their bottomline.

Apparently pet breeders use small cages. Whatever you do don't tell Dick Chibbles, the shock of hearing this so soon after learning that porn whores turn tricks might kill him.

Apparently the people petsmart buy their rats and birds from are in fact indifferent to suffering of rats and birds.
Never let PETA send anything in your name. Those people are terrorists.

When I saw who made it I stopped watching it. That video is made by PETA. I would be very suspicious of it. Remember PETA doesn't want you to eat most food and will go to any length to get their way.

Animal cruelty sucks, but these are the same people who demanded that the guy accused of killing and eating his girlfriend be placed on a vegetarian diet to "keep him from being involved in any senseless killing" while incarcerated.

for those who don't want to watch the video because of PETA, here's what you're missing. * Rabbits were neutered by an employee using a dull razor and Clorox wipes on the animals' fresh incisions. One improperly anesthetized rabbit was seen kicking and struggling during the surgery. * Live hamsters, rats, and mice were dumped into trash cans, and animals were thrown against the floor in an attempt to kill them. * Many animals were denied veterinary care, including a baby Goffin's cockatoo named Angel, who wasted away for weeks and eventually died from an undiagnosed illness; ferrets with rectal prolapses; and a guinea pig with a broken hip.of course, the video is probably fake and staged. whores lie. i kind of had a feeling you all would be too sophisticated to get hustled by propaganda. can't fault me for trying.

i can appreciate that, but i'd urge you to click the second link and shoot a complaint at them. unless you want to buy into the bullshit and do nothing because agreeing with peta about something makes you uncomfortable.

i was looking at their website, and i don't see anything about taking away your dog. i saw stuff about spaying and neutering, stopping the chaining of dogs, and not selling dogs in pet stores, but no stopping you from having a dog. is this a secret mission that only you and fox news are aware of? seriously, what do you mean by that? and what does peta have to do with anything? if i heard about this shit on rush limbaugh, should i just be like "fuck rush limbaugh", and do nothing?

I will never forget the clip I saw of a cat after it had been skinned alive. The cat was still alive, on all four and miauing - just like any cat - except it was raw meat without a fur. Red meat. Head to tail. On sale somewhere on a market in Asia.
I still get sick thinking about it. I wish there was a way to erase that image from my memory. Since that day I try not to look at animal cruelty images whatsoever.
I have two cats. I'll take your word for it and won't buy at petsmart and signed the email.

Not selling dogs in pet stores would probably make it pretty difficult to own a dog. And don't be so naive to think that that isn't their ultimate goal. They don't want people to eat meat, own pets or have anything to do with animals except letting them run wild. If they really wanted to help the animals in the video why are they putting pressure on Petsmart to stop selling animals rather than pressuring them to use a more humane pet supplier? To that end, why go after Petsmart at all and not the "Rainbow World Exotics", the ones actually mistreating the animals? Answer, they don't want people keeping pets.

I think you're right about PETA, King. They are evil. And, their goals are unclear and likely fair-reaching.
Just for giggles... The only pets I ever purchased were tropical fish looooong ago. My cats were free [as was the dog of my youth].

That's a joey, and I guess it was tagged at birth like that thread Loopnode posted.
I understand kangaroos are as big a hazard down under as deer are here.
At least the deer don't box.
On topic: without pet stores goth kids will have nowhere to buy their snakes and whats more- nowhere to buy the "pinkies" and "feeders" their reptiles require.

well, i can't speak to their "secret" goals, but did you ever hear of adoption? i doubt they would begrudge you adopting a homeless dog. it's also cheaper and the dog would likely be healthier than one from a puppy mill. going to breeders works, too. (though i think they frown on that, but whatever) and if dogs work like birds do, buying from a breeder is substantially cheaper than buying from a pet store. but i don't know anything about that, so who knows. you're also likely to get much better advice and information from a person who breeds the animal than some seventeen year-old at petsmart. (i once overheard a girl at petsmart advising a woman buying a lovebird that she had to get two, because lovebirds must be kept in pairs or they will die- this is not true)
i would assume they want you to bitch to petsmart and boycott them because no one is going to rainbow world exotics to buy pets. they're going to petsmart, the happy pet place. and petsmart, the happy pet place that loves them pets, doesn't give a shit that the happy pets it sells come from this place. petsmart, and rainbow world exotics are profiting from negligence and unnecessary cruelty.
quit saying "peta!" it doesn't negate anything in that video.

There's a big world out here where they don't sell bagels or four dollar coffee on every corner.
I don't know where the $4 coffee is. I'm not much of a coffee drinker. I have about 1 cup a day. Sometimes 2.
Just across the corner from me a small coffee is 60 cents, but lately I get my morning coffee from a Mexican's coffee cart on the corner of 42nd & 9th on my way to therapy. It's $1 for a small coffee and a buttered bagel. He's one of the few left who haven't moved up to $1.25 or $1.50.
Be careful of those Ohio deer.

Remember PETA wants animals to have the right to vote. Also they got that airhead Pamela Anderson to ask the governor of Kentucky to take down the statue of Colonel Sanders.

Their goals aren't "secret" or daily topics on Fox News and Rush Limbaugh (nice try making this a right/left issue), but you're an idiot if you can't see what they're trying to achieve. So, as you admit, peta doesn't want pet stores selling animals and they "frown" on breeders so, how should I acquire some African cichlids for my fish tank? Fly to Africa and adopt them from Lake Malawi? Once pet stores and breeders are gone am I supposed to wait for my local animal control to nab a wild dog and then hope to "adopt" it? No thanks. If peta is pissed that petsmart's employees are misinformed, fine expose them. If peta believes petsmart's animal supplier is inhumane, fine force them to change suppliers. Don't expect people to join the fight against petsmart to stop selling animals. It's petsmart! What do you want them to sell? Cars? Did people ask Nike to stop selling shoes when people found out they were made in sweat shops? No, they were pressured to change/improve working conditions or find a new manufacturer etc.
Quote:

you're misleading everyone again and your assumption is wrong. peta wants petsmart to stop selling animals completely (your second link).
I've owned pets my entire life, dogs, cats, fish, both saltwater and tropical. I've spent more money on my pet's vet bills than my own medical bills. peta is bullshit and if they spent as much time trying to close down/improve animal mills as they did pouring paint on fur coats or closing petsmart I might actually get on board.

the king, this is your biggest load of shit yet.
you seem be pushing the idea that adopting a pet is somehow like adopting a child, that it takes luck and patience. that it's hard to find an animal that needs a home. this is incorrect. there are so many cats, dogs, birds without homes, it would make your head spin. if pet stores stopped selling pets, you would not have trouble finding one to adopt.
and where can i find these not-so-secret secret plans? if it's not on their site, if it's not part of their mission statement or whatever, how is it not a "secret agenda"? telling me i'm an idiot for not seeing it doesn't actually prove anything. please show me some proof of your claims that their goal is to eradicate pet ownership. because, if that is actually their goal, i wouldn't worry about it. it 'aint happening.
and i believe i mentioned that petsmart can still make plenty of bank selling supplies for animals. i still have to get a camouflage collar for my cat, right? a dog still gotta eat some dog food, no?
and i'm not sure what you're getting at mentioning that you've spent more on health care for your animals than you have for yourself. bully for you. so what? i'm not trying to attack you personally, and even if big bad peta is, this has nothing to do with peta. it seems you'd rather spite peta than give a shit about the animals in the video.
i'm fully aware that they want petsmart to stop selling pets. i don't believe i tried to hide that fact. (if i came across that way, then it was unintentional) i agree with them. selling pets in pet stores, even if they were bred in better conditions, encourages uninformed and impulse buying, and greatly increases the odds that things will turn out bad for the animal and the owner. if you really want a pet, it's not very much trouble to adopt, or find a reputable breeder. (i don't agree with no breeding, period, if that makes you feel better)

idiot. so, say for example peta is successful in closing down petsmart. how does that improve the conditions of the animals in the breeding mill that is "Rainbow World Exotics"? nil, which is why attacking petsmart over RWE is fucking stupid.

Animal Rights Uncompromised:
PETA on 'Pets'
We at PETA very much love the animal companions who share our homes, but we believe that it would have been in the animals' best interests if the institution of "pet keeping"—i.e., breeding animals to be kept and regarded as "pets"—never existed.

I can get on-board against Petsmart without mixing in the fact that it is PETA's project and their motives aren't pure. I joined with O'Reilly against the Red Cross and their abuses though I hate O'Reilly. I hate Bush, but I stand against Iran with him. To me, PETA's real "goal" is publicity and notoriety for its leaders. I don't think they give a shit about the animals unless it can grandstand some act which gains the eyes of the media. They remind me of the "Act Up" group who tried to shut down the Port Authority to protest AIDS issues in the 80s. Personally, I stay away from impersonal large corporate entities in general - my preference for local independent pharmacists, for example. I believe that the day the owner isn't active and present in the business is the end of the business as a beneficial entity to society. The mistreatment of the animals is just a symptom of that to me. That is my prejudice. And, I will fight for K1ng's right to own tropical fish!
