This exerpt is form the Petfinder bulletin...... As part of PETCO's continuing efforts to lead the industry as a responsible pet retailer, we are pleased to announce their recent decsion to end the sale of large birds in PETCO stores. PETCO will continue to work with its shelter and placement partners to help those groups adopt not only dogs and cats, but to adopt homeless birds of all sizes as part of the "Think Adoption First" program. I think it would BE GRAND IF They would stop selling ferrets and ask rescues in intead. This policy applies in Petcos now for dogs, cats, large birds.... but NOT ferrets!
