Hello all!...Since we have a vet representing "Petsmart" within our ranks,...and hopefully he can find the time to read the fml's as often as possible,..I wonder if the Doctor can tell us, &/or just me, how many of their stores are NOW being used as "Trial stores" for the 'possible' stocking of ferret kits?.... 'Trial stores' was not the correct term used,..way back when there was a concerted effort to convince PETSMART NOT to begin this practice,....I'd have to refer to my "folder full" of posts & emails all sent with the same plea of "please don't"! I believe that the ORIGINAL # of stores to be used for this experiment, was 3 or 4......BUT we have NOT heard whether or not this has begun to be policy(inventory)...i.e., how the 'trial period' went?? I believe that the term,...'sweeping under rug' was used by me at that time, but I was assured that this was NOT the case. Can we/I get accurate & true answers to these questions? That is what was promised!......we've heard alot about the care, handling, & treatment of PETSMART kits,.....but that is merely putting the cart before the horse. I hope the answers are in the FERRET'S FAVOR!.... thank you.. john rich & the n.j. gang. jdr. [Posted in FML issue 4930]
