legality issues ? name some? I dought their it is illegal for a store to hire volenteers.


What if the "volunteer" got injured while handling an animal? They have insurance and could get sued by those people. It's not a chance most pet shops would want to take. Most people do not know how to properly handle an animal. Most of them mean well but in the end it could cause more damage. The stores hire employees who do that job, that is what they are there for. They don't have room for "volunteers" to be running around the store trying to tame animals.
