Petco Animal Cruelty

[Greg'sGarters]

I just saw a video on YouTube. Petco is now on my dislike list. A man from a local animal rescue was searching through Petco's trash for supplies when he found a live iguana THROWN OUT!

WARNING THIS VIDEO CONTAINS HIGHLY EXPLICIT LANGUAGE DO NOT WATCH IF SMALL CHILDREN ARE AROUND/YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED!!!

This is horrible and something should be done. But only so much can be done.....

Edit: I am glad the iguana was ok. It is things like this that make me so angry, mostly because it is so hard to stop and there will always be people who don't get it..

I had read the description of the video, and this is what really angered me. He tried to file an animal cruelty charge against Petco, but it never went through because apparently, down there, animal cruelty charges do not apply to exotic pets - only domesticated ones like dogs, cats, horses etc...

That should be fixed, that is really stupid.

It really should be!

Something else, why does Petco even have Iguanas in the first place? Iguanas are not for beginners and anyone who is experienced enough to keep an Iguana would not be buying their reptiles at Petco!

That is true anyone that does any research on a pet before getting one will know to buy from a breeder.

There's already a thread about that video somewhere on the forum.

How about this Petco video?

That tank is just a little smaller than your average 10 gallon tank.
