Pet Smart supplier guity of cruelty to reptiles

[Catherine]

First let me say that no ethical reptile person deals with wild caught reptiles anymore. Ethically sourced reptiles come from small local caring breeders who are reptile lovers first.

Pet Smart uses big suppliers. The workers in these places are not reptile people. It is just a job to them. They are like factory farm workers and slaughterhouse workers. They don't care. They cause pain and suffering to the animals as an act of indifference.
They also lack the knowledge to care for the animals. Reptiles are tricky.

Reptiles are so vulnerable. They need special environments if they are going to be healthy. Keeping them in such miserable facilities is especially cruel. A reptile deprived of the right food and the right lighting very quickly develops calcium deficiencies and can end up permanently deformed.

No animal should have to suffer like that and Pet Smart knows the animals it buys come from such places. Pet Smart doesn't care. All they care about is the money they make.
