Re: GOOD GOD!
Posted by Jill on 6/05/05


    Really you've been in one pet store here and now there all bad....really ?? Bet you I could
    find a dive in England too! And any bird cage I've ever seen for sale has a bottom grill on
    it to keep the birds out of old food and s**t. Are you saying the cages sold in the UK have
    no grills?????? Your doing that "WE"RE better than you again thing again!" Ah most pet
    stores here DO NOT sell dogs or cats....out of 8 stores in my town only 1 does...and he gets
    protesters all the time. Being in one pet store hardly qualify's anything other than that
    store was bad.
