Of any business, Community Natural Foods is the one I expect not to sell live animals. Very disappointing.

Aside from all of your unethical cruelty, your produce section stinks like some some third world slum dead fishmarket. I no-longer buy any produce from your store.as I prefer to buy my groceries in a clean non-stinking and ethical environment.....

I refuse to shop anywhere that has these tanks, or eat at any restaurant where there are these torture tanks.
I will not be entering your store, it is too upsetting to see this cruelty displayed. I shop at Amaranth!!

You won't find me inside your store until this travesty is removed. If I visit at all, it will be outside as a protestor. What a kick in the teeth to your customers and staff it was to allow this lobster torture tank on your premises!

It's bad enough seeing dead animals in a place that markets itself as ethical and forward thinking - moving to selling live animals is so far beyond the pale I simply won't tolerate shopping at Community anymore.

I used to be a regular shopper at your 10th Ave store. But since Billingsgate moved in I avoid it as much as I can. As a vegan, It sickens me to my core. I hope you will reconsider the decision to have them there.

Community natural foods should really consider making the transition into a vegan, or at least vegetarian grocer.

Please, for the love of all things living, stop selling live animals. This breaks my heart and my trust.

I've always been disgusted by the meat in your store - seems antithetical to the values your brand tries to represent. But I looked away, because CNF carried specialty products unavailable elsewhere. However, CNF has increased competition now, and the cruel (and smelly) seafood area really creates an uncomfortable and unappetizing shopping experience. It's bad enough that CNF has been selling animal parts of any kind, but confining live lobsters takes it to a new level of horror. Regardless of how many signatures this petition receives, I hope you'll consider doing the right thing.

CNF by continuing to sell this, you have lost $150 per week in my grocery purchase. If you can't be compassionate towards these creatures, think about the business you've lost and will lose because of this.

I've already voiced my concerns with the store manager directly and I will not be returning and taking my business to Amaranth until the issue is resolved.
