I too am saddened to see that Ferrets Magazine will not be available in hard copy anymore but it concerns me that it seems to be that there is more concern over this than the condition at the Rainbow World Exotics and the PetsMarts in the U. S. (please no flames) It also really concerns me because of the group PETA being involved in this finding, automatically it is thought of to be staged. ( I guess that is like the little boy that cried wolf) What does it take to believe that the condition at Rainbow World Exotics is just what we saw of it???? The Today show ran the video on it, a vet turned away from watching the bunny being neutered!!!!! You mean, we are to believe that is staged too???? Now we read an email/letter sent by >Nick Saint-Erne, DVM >Quality Assurance Veterinarian >PetSmart, Inc. stating that Rainbow World Exotics meets their requirements. How pathetic is that! What standards? We have heard from people that have worked for PetsMart and they all seem to concur with how the back stock rooms are handled with sick and dying animals. These are reputable people in the animal community that have no reason to lie or to exaggerate what they know first hand as fact. So do we continue to shop and condone the practices of Petsmart? Do we believe that PETA staged the Rainbox World Exoctics and then went to every Petsmart in the U.S. and staged the conditions and lack of care in their back rooms? How many people do we have to hear from with first hand information on both Rainbow World Exotics and the PetsMarts around the U.S. to realize this is not what we consider acceptable???????? I know that we were all able to make a difference when it came to the Ohio Rescue, surely if we take a stand on this we can make a difference both with PetsMart and Rainbow World Exotics. It has to start somewhere, why not here????????????????? [Posted in FML 5864]
