    Uhm,for the record,I myself have filed complaints with the humane society and the Fl
    dept of agriculture about the Petco stores,and other pet shops in my area when I
    found the conditions to be unfit.And I do not go to Petco stores,and buy anything,nor
    have I ever.The pet store in question that has the teenyboppers I have not been in
    for about 8-9 months now,after the incident in question I quit shopping there.
    The problem is,have you ever actually read the state requirements for selling
    animals? The minimum cage space required (for FL and 4 others I know of) is
    sickening,and the rest of it,they don't care about.So long as they clean the water
    bowls when the people come out and they have food,they don't care if it's starting to
    rot,that's good enough for them.
    One of the huge complaints filed against Petco stores was the policy to take any
    small animal that required veterinary care and "euthanize" them by putting them in
    the freezer.And that's something they don't check when they get called out to these
    stores.
