Sorry for lack of update, I had no idea this thread was still alive and was about to revive it with an update later this week, but I'll go ahead and give one now.
We tried to contact the media, but they said that since we don't have direct contact with the owner of the shelties, that they aren't going to go into in. I thought you could go ahead and cover a story without having the owner of the shelties, but they told us otherwise. I really hate alot of things down here... when talking to them, it really sounded like they didn't care about the story because it delt with animals. It seems like no one around here has any passion for pets and animals.
I'm not sure where everything stands according to legal stuff and the court, but its obvious the store is shutting down. We drove by and on the windows was "Sale" written very large. We stopped in to see how drastic the sale was, and they had alot of fish marked down to .99 cents... which is a BIG drop in price. Most everything is marked down, like they are trying to get rid of everything. They even sold a ferret, with everything included (a huge cage, carrying cage, toys, leashes, collars, etc.) for $180 when it would normally sell for over $250. I understand now, why they sold us a lovebird for only $35... we bought the lovebird right before we found out about the whole ordeal.
So.. I'm unsure if we have a Better Bussiness Bureau around here... I'm sure we do, but how would we contact them?
