Update: My Rescue League friend called me to update me.. One of our local vets ( one of the vets used @ the League & has been practicing for at least 30 years) went into the pet store. He saw the turtles and decided he would buy one. When he asked about it, the owner told him he would have to have some kind of special license ( I think it was something to do with education) to buy the turtle. The vet sarcastically laughed and said he DID have a license... a Vet Medicine one. They still refused the sale. So Dr. So and So researched the turtle, found out it is illegal to sale and contacted the Wildlife & Fisheries Dept. A full investigation is being brought against the pet store! Partial accomplishment!
I went in there the other day and they had cleaned up ALOT. There were about 6 Buns left but all the cages & food & water dishes were clean. In fact, the whole store had had a major over haul. However, the puppies, especially the Cockers ( my Heart Breed) deeply concerned me. She had blood in her stool. Lots of it. Not dark coffee ground looking thank goodness, but blood none the less. Owner said he would get her to the vet :S I am pleased with the improvements, and I honestly hope they continue, we need a GOOD pet supply store near us ( our nearest is over 20 miles away). Oh, and I did consider applying to work there part time to try and help it improve, but I'm afraid I may end up getting fired because of my * assertiveness* and passion heh
Remember the sick little bun I was so worried about? Well, turns out it was sold... to my MOTHER! :shock: The day my mom went to the petstore, she also came home with 2 buns * insert lots of fussing* She said she couldn't stand leaving them there. So, even though this baby isn't in my possession, I am supervising her care. She goes to the vet tomorrow. ( am starting a new thread about her illness stuff).
Sorry for the long winded-ness of my post, but thanks for letting me vent
