If you send letters to Petsmart, please copy and send to Petco Corp and USDA APHIS as well. Didn't PetSmart vet assure the ferret community that they were purchasing their ferret stock from a company that treated ferrets more humanely than Marshalls? Petco says "Animals always come first" yet they purchase from a deadly tortureous animal mill which enables the mill to continue. Pressure needs to be put on not only the torture chamber mill but also the stores that bought from them and the licensing agencies at all levels. Can someone explain to me how a federal inspector didn't see what was going on with dead and dying animals, overcrowding, cannibalism, filth, etc? Inspections are to prevent this from happening. The ferrets that were to be euthanized for aggression that came to me were originally from Rainbow World Exotics. They do have behavior issues and from what they went through at that barbaric torture dungeon of a warehouse I'm not surprised. My heart breaks for those we couldn't save.... Please write your polite strong pointed letters today.
