Petco (boycott)

[alextheromanian]

Hi all! I live in upstate NY( one of the areas affected by the recent floods) my town has been partially evacuated along with the towns around it since most of it is under a foot or more of water.

The reason I am starting this thread is to ask people to respectfully BOYCOTT Petco. This is because in our area and i am sure other areas affected by the floods as well they closed the store and left some of the animals die inside their store because of the rising water.

That is not what a animal loving retailer would do, and not what a animal loving owner would condone. Again...im simply asking you to just avoid their bussines and instead purchase your pets or FOR your pets at a store that doesnt look at animals drowned as money lost and instead looks at them as lives that ended that didnt need to.

they built this store in particular VERY low within known previous flooding area...and despite knowing that it will happen they didnt even try to atleast move the animals on higher shelves or to a different location.

I hope some of you will take this post seriously and stop rewarding this type of bussines model.

PS- i was already aware that they are TERRIBLY bad at keeping fish and their employees know nothing about some of the pets they sell.
