PetCo petition to stop selling snake food

This is really bright, she even signed the petition twice with the same message. Do not pet rats live in little cages?

Everybody can sign her guestbook with your opinions. I did mine. I just asked what she keeps her rats in?

I don't know why most people think the furry critters are so cute. I think a hatchling snake is one of the the cutest things I've ever seen. I guess to each his own, eh?

Wait just a minute. I had a female that I called "Cherry", and she was so sweet. She never bit, not even when I did painful things to her like give her her vaccinations. Cherry was very good about using her litter boxes.

Still, she was the only ferret I ever had. I lived in California at the time and when Cherry died I could not get another (ferrets being illegal). She did, unfortunately, latch onto my poor conure one evening. The bird had "exited" his perch suddenly in the dark as a result of a small earth tremor. He happened to land right in front of Cherry. She did not kill or even injure him. Even so, he did have to be treated for shock. This was in the mid 80's. BTW, the bird still lives.

Hey guys, I have been lerking around on Fauna for a while, but this is my first post. Just wanted to let you know that I agree with you all the way, and that Molly here has some more hate mail in her inbox.

Awesome stuff! I know this thread is over 6 years old, but im still laughing everytime I read it.

Clay are you up for a round 2?

She is an Idiot! Not ok to keep "Pet" snakes but ok to keep Pets Rats and Mice.
I wondered why Petsmart doesn't sell live mice! I guess we can blame her? LOL
I actually know now NOT to give my business for anything to Petsmart!

Petsmart or Petco. It breaks my heart to go into either and see the reptiles/birds/fish in such horrible conditions, but looks soo perky and alive in the picture with their price tag on it. I have nearly bough every Ball Python at the local Petco once because they were in horrible conditions; stuck shed, eye caps still on, soo skinny they had wrinkles, just miserable looking. But I refused to buy them to help support Petco and to keep other Ball Pythons from replacing them. Wasnt an easy decision but it should not be left to me or any customers to make these animals health and living conditions improve. If there should be any Petco petitions it should be a "Ban Petco from the sale of ANY Animals" petition.

Let's hear it for the mice! There are litterally millions ofanimal research projects on-going; mostly mice. Seems to me, snake keepers are doing a tremendous job by making use of frozen/thawed carcases.
