We,The Undersigned, ask that the company ‘Pets at Home’ (formerly known as ‘Petsmart’) has its license revoked that allows them to sell live animals and birds.


We have a catalogue of incidents to report about the appalling state the animals are kept in, and the uncaring and badly trained staff which work in the stores.

Some of these bad experiences include the following:


Fish In Small Tanks That Clearly Should Be In Larger Ones

Mass Overcrowding

Infected/Diseased Fish

Dead Fish Left In Tanks Among Others

Dirty Tanks

The Sale Of Exotic Pets Which Are More For Proffesional Owners Only And Not The General Buyer.

Small Housing For Rodents. (4-6Hamsters in one Cage/tank is Far To Crowded)

These are mainly reports about Fish as I know a lot about them so know what to look out for. But I also know of reports of the bad condition of the birds and rabbits in stores too. The animals are treated like merchandise to sell rather than living creatures, and the staff lack the knowledge and experience to sucessfully answer customer queries about the animals they are buying. Unless some serious money is invested in the training of staff and improving the welfare of the animals they sell, they shouldn’t be allowed to sell any living creatures.


Sincerely

The Undersigned
