I was just wondering something about Danielle, the "small animal
specialist" at PETCO.  Did you receive any formal training to be the
"small animal specialist"?  Do you attend classes, seminars or the like
in order to become qualified for this job?  Or did they just hire you off
the street, slap a name tag on you, and deem you a "specialist"?  I know
for a fact that's what PETCO does.  Our "fish specialist" never even
owned a goldfish.  Oh, and our "reptile expert" was a 65 year old retired
NYPD officer who was looking for a p/t job to keep him busy.  He was very
good, mind you, but by no means an "expert".
 
Also, to the other former employee at PETCO; I wasn't aware about PETA
owning stock in PETCO.  That is rather interesting.  I guess I wasn't
making much of a difference reporting to them than, huh?  Thanks for
letting me know that.  I do feel rather foolish because of that, but
regardless of what PETA does or doesn't do, I have seen first hand the
horrors of PETCO.  I respect you greatly because of the work you do for
the ferrets, and I wanted to tell you that I respect your opinion.
