So a girl who works for PETA went undercover for a company that supplies small animals and birds to PetSmart. The amount of animal abuse was absolutely insane. There's a video on the page. It shows a guy (not a vet, just a normal guy) neutering a rabbit that wasn't fully put under... and then cleaning the area after the 'surgery' with Clorox disinfecting wipes (regular bleach).... Are you kidding me??
My sister has been employed by PetSmart for the last 2 1/2 years working with the animals. She said they would always get shipments of hamsters that would eat each others' brains, guinea pigs with fatal parasites and birds with the same problems and she never knew why.
Thankfully, she's seeking new employment.
Please... do not support PetSmart. Don't buy any animals from them or any other products. It's a horrible company to support.
