I discovered today that peta sent undercover agents (read that as Employees there under false pretenses) and had them take pictures of the store with their cell phones and cameras of animals in the sick room. if you read the reports they make they discuss how the animlas were treated. they say that over 100 animals were neglected but they have only specific pictures of a few animals, and the only ones listed were small animals. having worked in pet stores for almost a decade i know how easy it is for lets say a hamster to die. even while treated properly. we all know that simple giving medicine to fish doesnt always save them. and no you dont need to take a hamster to the vet for wettail. there is nothing more they can give it except t put it on i fluids and since peta runs a shelter of their own that is a kill shelter they certainly would not do that for an animal that far gone. but what gets me is they are mad at a company that does at least try to treat its animals that get sick (it says they dont, trust me you get fired if they find out you are not doing your job back there i know people that were) i have seen them spend hundreds o dollars treating animals that had to be adopted out that they made no money on at all.
plus the pictures are very misleading. they have close up of animals and you dont know whether they were in petsmart or not so could be falsified. plus they had pictures of animals that had been killed by their own kind. anyone who has rodents can tell you they can be very very violent. many claims were made with no proof. and what gets me is that their own site where i read said article and looked at pictures, does not have anyway of emailing them unless you want to join, that seem very biased since i know petsmart at least has a complaint department (which they take very seriously, a few corparate complaints on a store manager and they are gone, one or two on an assoiciate and your toast) they also have one for customer happy feedback. they are open to hear from people so tey can know whats really going on. i have seen cruelty to animals, i have seen unclean stores and bad work environments in the pet industry. it seems counterproductive for an organization about animal rights to go after one that helps adopt pets out (through local shelters) and that will spend hundreds of dollars on treating an animal when it finds a problem that can be treated. sometimes animals cant be saved but you cant hold that against the people treating them. i guess the biggest thing that got me was they went in under false pretenses, Peta will back up what its investigators did until its time for the lawsuit, and since what petsmart does (as in treating its animals instead of putting them down, even if thier condition gets worse) is not legally or too my sense of morally(and i am an animal lover in everysense, i love keeping them, eatin and wearing
) wrong thn what Peta did is Slander plain and simple. plus industrial espionage.
ok thats my rant. i understand if your opinion isnt the same as me, but secretly spying on someone and take photos only of bad conditions and not going into the good of the place (as in totally biased ) is always wrong to me. and stupid.
