Petco - Where the pets go??? A vent

[Blue_Frog]

The biggest thing in Petco is the animals. They come first PERIOD. There is a huge sign on the tanks that says "Loud noises scare us". Maybe we should put it in Spanish as well.

Yes - what a great idea! That way theres no misunderstandings, or "oh, i didn't know" issues (especially if you're somewhere like florida or s.cali where theres a lot of spanish). At my old job we offered Spanish technical support for when people didn't speak the best english, and it was really helpful for the clients to understand what we were telling them.

GreyhoundGirl, do your parents know your brother does this to Jenny? You have to do something about this! Your brother has to learn that this is wrong, how could you let this go on? Yet alone, post it on PETtalk. What your brother does to her is ANIMAL CRUELTY. Jenny shouldn't have to live like this. I'm afraid if your brother doesn't stop, you should rehome her so she can live a better life away from fear. It's not right and I can't believe you didn't do anything to stop him.

Animal Cruelty isn't funny either. Someone getting arrested for it, commited a horrific act and if your brother gets arrested for it an animal would have to suffer. That's NOT funny.

Greyhoundgirl like everone said what you posted is very distrubing.If your parents can't get your brother to stop then please rehome Jenny.Sometimes the best way to show love is being able to do what is hardest for you but best for your Jenny.Maybe that is why Jenny is throwing up her food.

Wow Donna, that is horrible. I don't even know what I would do if I was in that situation.

I agree with Vela, some of your post are just.... trollish. Honestly if your brother is doing this he needs to go to therapy. Poor Jenny. If my older brother ever did that, yes I would rehome my pets, they do not deserve this. Luckily my brother loves animals like I do.

Opps, sorry Donna, in my shock at reading the other thing I forgot to ever address your Petco post that was actually the point of this thread. I have three kids myself, and I would be appalled if one of my children behaved that way. I probably would have gotten my manager to deal with it just so there was no chance of anything happening to your job, but I would also be very upset with the way that child was allowed to behave. I know my kids and other people think im strict on my kids but I will not have them acting like that in public and harassing other shoppers or anyone else. I love my kids but I don't often like other people's kids=x Sometimes they are so horrid unless their parents are willing to teach them manners, and sometimes you have to wonder if the parents have any either!
