Petco Animal Cruelty

Wow.

Can't even dumpster dive over here without permission, according to city ordinance. Apparently how much money the waste collection company gets depends on the amount of waste they handle and if you remove waste from a dumpster, they practically consider it stealing.

It IS stealing here and people have been prosecuted. They tend to overlook taking things from the garbage, but people have been prosecuted for taking recyclables from the curb. Once it goes to the curb, it belongs to the company that pics it up and it's considered theft if you intercept it.

It seems common sense isn't common at all...

A lot of people get around that where I used to live by putting recyclables and 'trash' items (like old furniture or appliances or whatever) out in their yard for a few days. There's like a week time limit that something has to be there before the city can do anything to make them get it out of their yard. It's just communally understood that if something is sitting out like that it's for people who want to pick it up.

It's both common and incredibly overrated. If you ever hear someone say "It's just common sense." you can pretty bet the farm on it being completely and utterly wrong. The same thing applies to the phrase "It's self-evident."

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

Yes, I know. It's nearly identical to the gecko tank at the petco across the street from me. So what?

Wait a second, is that some sort of crack about how the U.S. constitution was written? If so, good one. Nice job.

Declaration of Independence and no, any similarities are accidental.

Whatever, you know what I meant.

So....About the dog video...I do work in dog grooming, and I wanted to say this. They do make a skin glue type of stuff(they actually make it for people) that alot of grooming places have on hand for things like nicked pads of the feet, etc. Now if they said that the ear could have been saved, they didn't cut it all the way off. They definitely should have told the people immediately when if happened. And if they sliced the ear(sounds like it must've been a pretty significant cut through the ear), skin glue would not be a good thing to use, basically because if the ear is cut, the two pieces more than likely aren't going to grow back together, so gluing would be pointless. Now, since Petco didn't contact the owners immediately OR tell them upon pick-up(which they should have...), how do you not notice that for a few days?!?!
