PETA undercover investigations conducted in two PetSmart stores in 2006 and 2007—one in Arizona and one in Connecticut—documented sick and dying animals who suffered without veterinary care, incompetent staff permitted to work with animals, betta fish imported from overseas and shipped in so little water that their bodies were not even submerged, outbreaks of salmonella, and more.

Petsmart's Big Suffering For Small Animals

  • Not All the Same

    I just wanted to comment on your video, I have been to several PetSmart stores and I have NEVER seen the conditions you're referring to. I have been in the these stores alot.I have also been in their new arrivals rooms, no such thing nor thier isolation rooms as well. I am not sure where you might have worked or whatever, but all the PetSmarts are not the same. Don't you think they would be mystery shopped at by not only customers but other management postitions and if these conditions were true, they'd do something about it? So all PetSmart's are not the same... you know that one bad apple does always spoil the bunch...so to speak!

  • Petshops have a profit margin.

    If a $10 rodent gets sick do you seriously expect them to pay upwards of $50 to get the RODENT vet checked. Come on this is the real world. Things die and get killed all the time. For example I'm about to go and feed some crickets to my spiders, some day old chickens to my snakes and some rats to my Monitors.
    Have a great day.

  • cruel!!!!!!!!!!

    i support peta, just think, would you like to be treated like that, if you were a betta, you would feel like if "you"were in a plastic bag with hardly any air,i dont like petsmart because first of all there so expensive, second workers are never usefull. i just dont like to see poor animals like these to be treated wrong.
