PetLand=Big Mistake

Post by hermiesrokmysox »

Today was horrible. most of it anyways.
I set out for the pet store, Petland to be specific, and went striaght to the guines pigs (lol). I held and cuddled them, like i always do.
i decied to go check out the hermit crab supplize, nothing new really (i thought there would be since the whole rest of the store had stocked up. Anyways...) SO i browsed right on to the hermit crabs themselves. I was watching them, getting madder (i don't care if that's not a word) the more i looked: painted shells (more than 50% of the tank), no sand/subsrate, dry as a bone every where, i mean every where! The really got me SO TICKED OF! There was no freakish water any where! NONE TO DRINK! Yeah right like it even mattered, there were only dry dumb ol' sponges that took up each bowl.
Oho! There is so much more. (by this time i was crying... ^) ) i got my dad to tell a pet store jerk...oh, did i say that? i meant clerk, about the hermies. She came over and felt the sponges and said "Oh, they are still wet." POOP ON YOU LADY! My dad was like "oh, i don't think so." and she 'reasured him "yes, they are" MORE POOP! I was so mad at her! I mean, i was crying! i was trying not to!
MAN I HATE PETLAND! I HATE IT! It is so rude! they have always treated their crabs there. That's it. I am telling my dad to never go there, ever, ever ever ever EVER! NEVER-EVER!!!!! >[ UURRRAAHHGGGG! I am so mad at them! That jerk-clerk was such a dumby! POOPY!
What a pet store! They are such lazy bums to not even get sand in the tank....you dumb couch potatoes!
They just lost a customor (i go there almost every week).
couch potatoes!!!!!! >[ >[ >[

I know how you feel. I am pleased to hear that your dad is also interested in helping you (tell him I said "thanks!!!"). Tell her what is wrong, and that it is animal cruelty. Simply tell them, "Would you treat a dog like this?" If they don't listen, tell them that they are beig rude for not listening to you, and ask them for an explanation why they think their "correct" method is right. Ha! I bet they'll be speechless...

Yeah, they probably would be! I hope i can be brave enough to tell them. I could mail them a letter with suggestions or something and see if they listen.
I wish i was 18!! Then i could be hired to take care of the hermies specially. ^) That would be kind of cool!

Tell them directory (you must be brave). They'll probably ignore your letter.

You're probably right.
I will go soon. i am headed to Tennesee (ack, i cannot spell that state, but i can spell Mississippi!) on Saturday and i would like to tell them soon (poor crabs). It's so tempting to rescue one, but i don't want to support them by buying thier "products". :S
