And I think I also addressed the problem at hand. THE SUPPLIERS! Jesus. you can't just read and then write. You must think, reflect, and THEN write. And corporate responsibility doesn't lie in the hands of anyone, ANYONE within a retail outlet. It lies in the hands of those in the offices.

Also think of buying from these places as not only supporting the company, but saving the animals at the same time, if you will. It's like some weak representation of a double edged sword.

It isn't the fault of Petsmart retailers, but their offices? They are one entity man!

"I buy from Nike and support their retail locations, but I boycott their offices because they support child labour" :ROFL:

This is just another reason to not go to Petsmart... I go to locally-run LFS because the owners are always more knowledgeable, care about the fish, and generally their intentions aren't just cranking out inferior livestock as fast as possible. I wouldn't go to McDonald's to talk to a chef or buy a steak...

One entity can't control the "behind closed doors" of another entity....man. Tell me what was in that video that Petsmart could have known about and been held accountable for? Its not like Petsmart has a representative on site that can make sure everything is to their standards. This video is probably just as much news to them as it was to you and I. Did you ever think they may be in the process of making changes related to this situation now that they know about it. Please enlighten me. And please tell me the "other reasons".

Darn right Brady. And corporations are not a single entity. They are hierarchys. I don't need to go on. pdbrady said it right.
 
Half of those creatures are not even seen at me local PetSmart....I see parakeets and he usual finch, but there has never been true Cockatoos....As far as that rabbit neuturing goes, hopefully they turned him and questioned "WHY."

You know why? PETA. They pressured Petsmart into not selling large birds anymore. This happened a year or two ago(can't remember exactly). Think they've got their targets on someone?

and I'm sorry if I'm seeming like an ***, cause I'm really not :) This situation just enrages me.
