petco

[CoryDude]

Yes, many lfs are just as guilty as Petco, but I'd bet money that a majority of those type of stores don't stay open very long. We hobbyists know which stores to patron and which to avoid like the plague!

Many of our sponsors encourage their employees to seek the knowledge and know-how that is needed to provide humane care for their livestock. Not to mention that many of the workers at our sponsors are hobbyists themselves! Plus a smaller store can't afford to lose 50%-75% of their livestock before it's even sold. The situation at Petco just goes to show organizations like MAAST that there is still a lot of work to do when it come to educating the public!
