Petco Cruelty to reptiles

[Catherine]

I am appalled that they threw a live animal in the garbage. They didn't even take it out of its travel bag so they clearly did not look it over too carefully. They probably didn't consider it dead and then threw it out. I think they neglected to check the box to be sure it was empty before they threw it out. Either that or they had too many iguanas and did not want to do a set up for one more.

However it happened it is typical of the callous uncaring attitude of the big pet stores. I encourage people to have relationships with small family, privately run stores where people care about the animals and about the people who buy them.

What must have that poor little lizard been thinking when he was in the dumpster with no food or water, trapped in a bag, unable to escape to safety.
