PETA investigated a PetSmart supplyer in Texas. The whole thing is pretty disturbing, but the footage showing the treatment of a baby Goffin’s cockatoo named Angel is utterly devastating. Angel’s experience at PetSmart consisted of pain and suffering.After watching the video of Angel i was discusted. I dont know how someone could do that to an animal, and still claim that "when pets are family, we are the family doctor" or that they are "all you need for the life of your pet". You would think the owners of a animal store would be animal lovers, but apparently not. PETA has their own webpage focused on PetSmart cruelty. Angel's story is not the only one. PetSmart continuously treats small animals with homelessness, neglect, and suffering. We need to put PetSmart out of buisness, and the only way to do it is to stop supporting them, stop believeing what they want you to, and to stop buying their animals.

you are out of whack! In every large business, there will be a few things that happen beyond control. PetSmart does not intentionally harm any animals. Check your statistics. 1 in how many pets die at PetSmart? They are constantly getting animals (Especially small animals and reptiles) from suppliers that have medical issues. That is something they cannot help. In these cases, the store takes on the responsibility of caring for those animals and taking them to the veterinarian. If something can be done, they pay for treatment. If not, there is nothing that PetSmart can do. I personally have adopted two guinea pigs from PetSmart that were not able to be sold as pets due to medical issues. One, had an inner ear infection that they spent countless hours, and resources to take care of. The other, had a tumor on his neck. They took him to the vet, got it removed, and places him up for free adoption to a loving home. They spent their time, and money caring for these animals and then handed them over for free to someone who was willing to give a sick pet a home. Oh, and they were from two different petsmarts. Check your resources, check your statistics. That picture, is probably a sick pet that came in sick. They were most likely trying to care for the pet and nurse it back to health.
