I never knew their was anything negative to say about PetSmart until open my eyes what fallows is information found browsing the net.

PETA PetSmart Investigation .......

For years, PetSmart has assured PETA that sick and injured animals in its stores are provided with veterinary care when they need it. PETA didn't take their word for it. During an undercover investigation at the PetSmart store in Manchester, Connecticut, a store that has a Banfield Hospital right inside it and that PetSmart boasts of as having an "outstanding pet care team" and an "exceptional pet care record," PETA documented more than 100 small animals—including hamsters, domestic rats, lizards, chinchillas, and birds—deprived of effective veterinary care and slowly dying, out of customers' sight.

to read more into this investigation just fallow this link

Shame on you PetSmart :spank:

What can we do....

You can help by writing to PetSmart and calling on the company to end the sale of all animals and sell animal supplies only. Despite annual revenues in the billions, PetSmart is not willing to spend the funds necessary to prevent suffering and provide even the most basic care to the animals it sells—the company has no business selling animals.

Please do not buy anything from PetSmart until it stops selling all animals.

One lucky hamster girl, Gigi, was adopted from the Manchester store's sick room by PETA's investigator. Read Gigi's "happily ever after" story.

If you visit a PetSmart store, please make sure that the animals are being treated well. Here is how you can spot neglect and/or abuse at PetSmart.

Unseen Animal Artists Vol. 2 A monthly news article started by our very own as a way to shine a light on the Animal section of the Paintings or Drawings gallery. Past article Unseen Animal Artists Vol. 1

Rescue more than one hundred horses thought it might be nice for everyone to see this video of some good that's being done in the world on behalf of lost or hurting animals I for one have to agree. Back in 2006 in the Netherlands many horses got stuck on a small island for days after a heavy storm. People feared for the lives of the more than one hundred horses! this video is a view of the heroic rescue undertaken to save them :heart:

That's sick. But I always new never to buy pets from petstores, and only breeders.

that's disgusting. dammit.

good that someone's trying to prevent such terrible animal treatment. in poland it's still impossible and pet stores can do whatever they want, nobody cares... cos' "it's only a 3$ hamster" :chainsaw:
