I'm not saying that all petcos are bad and that every turn in to the
ferret shelter system is because of Petco.
 
What I am hoping is if you see a direct correlation between the shelter
population and impulse purchases of ferrets, by people buying from the big
chains - and want to say something about it.
 
Do.
 
A letter to Petco to the board of directors with the specifics on the
shelter overload crisis in your area would be a good thing.  Any incidents
of misinformation from at a store is an important thing to document in a
letter.
 
I'm not anti-petco.  I think they can help the ferret community by allowing
adoption and education days and stocking quality ferret supplies.
 
I just feel strongly against the retail sales of companion animals.
