A local pet store where i live called Evergreen Pets closed its doors recently in September. Normal occurance, right? Except that the stupid owner left the animals in the store without power foor or water to DIE. The original owners LOVED their store and cared for all animals. But a few years ago their Daughter took over and she didn't give a darn about it. She never paid the taxes, and it closed it's doors. The local rescue organizations came to the scene today and rescued what little critters there were left. Not many survived the two months. I think this woman should be imprisoned. And you know, it sucks when pets die. The thing is with people, we can talk to each other. And we have ample time and ways to say goodbye. But with pets, we don't speak any common language other than love. And we never get to know them like we want, and that's why it hurts so bad i think. We all have an internal instinct to care care of things we love. And this thing with the pet store infuriates me.
Thanks for reading.
-UPDATE- some idiot was faking to be Reptile Domicile took the poor reptiles. It's bad enough what few reptiles were left were heavily malnourished, but now they were stolen?! My faith in humanity is officially lost.
-UPDATE TWO- I heard from a friend that the store had just gotten a shipment of kittens and puppies to sell right before they closed. Only a few of those little guys made it and are intensive care at the local vet. They will probably not make it through the night. Poor little things. I woulda taken them in an instant-
-UPDATE THREE- I heard a poor kitten will never be able to walk again because of the massive mal-nourishment it recieved, and it will probably not make it. Also, a poor puppy had to have a leg that was severely skinny amputated. That makes me want to cry!
