In Reply to: Pet Stores posted by Nokinja on December 29, 2002 at 08:05:16:
...the small and not sophisticated pet shops are much better than the big and sophisticated ones.When I go to the small and maybe poor petshops in Chinatown I see that its the owner who takes care of the shop and of the animals.These owners in general love the animals they sell and do their best to them to thrive.Perhaps it is because they really like animals or perhaps they are only thinking about profit: If the animal dies no profit, ok? The manager of the richer and sophisticated petshops is never there and the animals are cared by very stupid and ignorant people who dont know anything about anything!The iguanas of poor petshops are much more healthy than the iglets from the rich and sophisticated 3 floors petshop of the local Megamall!!The shop is so big that it doesnt matter if all the iglets die of starvation or if all the Star tortoises die due to lack of water.Their price is so low!!

First of all, I know many/most of you hate Pet Stores because a lot of people come on here and say X place was the worst store ever. Dirty, unfed animals in boxes type deal.
:Sure that true for some places, but not all places.
:I work in a Pet Store, in Halifax, NS. Pets Unlimited.
:I can seriously say that the staff of EVERY department of the store, Fish, Birds, Dogs and even reptiles are the most competent of people for the job. They know their stuff.
:Now, we DO have Iguanas, which I dont agree with because of overpopulation but that's not a decision I make.
:All of the reptiles are cared for properly, the tanks aren't over crowded, small or dangerous.
:I have Herps and have had them for years. I know proper husbandry, I know how to properly care for them.
:
:I just want to TRY and dispell the misconception that all petstores are bad. Eitherway, there's always room for improvement. Some more than others.
:Thanks for listening.
