I have a little story about a pet shop I went to one time. All the kittens birds looked fine. The snake had fleas on it and ticks.

The puppies (I'm not a dog person at all.) looked to be old enough to be adopted out. When I was petting one of them I fell in love with it. But the other puppy was sleeping in an empty food dish. I didn't think any thing of it my thought was maybe they only feed them so many times a day. Then I seen the water dish. Which the puppies were using as a potty. I told the women thinking maybe she was busy and didn't have enough time to get to the dish. Being that she was the only one there. When I told her she said 'yes I know. They always do that." I then asked her if she was going to give them new CLEAN water and she said no, not until it's closing time. I was very discusted and I went home looked up the number to call the humane socity and my mom called and I explained to her what I saw. After I got off the phone with her, she called back like 5 minutes later I had to go over and take my mother in laws keys, she was very druged up from a surgery she had done and she wanted to go for a drive, so needless to say I forgot all about the store. A week or 2 later my mom stopped in there and looked at the snakes and one was a snake that you have to have a license for I can't remember what kind it was, but it was in very bad shape it was very thin had fleas and tickes all over it. So my mom went up to the counter and had a talk with the women and told her that the snakes cage was dirty she needed a license for the one snake and the women told her that she didn't need a license. When my mom got home she called the humane sociaty and made a complaint about this store. To this day I still have no clue what happened to them. I refuse to go back in there to see the animals.
