Ask PETCO and PetSmart to Stop Exploiting Animals

Ask PETCO and PetSmart to Stop Exploiting Animals

The Issue

A recent undercover investigation at Sun Pet Ltd. - a wholesale animal dealer that supplies animals to PETCO and PetSmart - reveals outrageous abuses and deeply disturbing conditions. One investigator documented cruel, extremely crowded, and filthy conditions that forced animals to eat, sleep, urinate, and defecate all in the same tiny space as well as the violent killing and rough handling of birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, mice, and rats. One female worker put live hamsters in a bag and bashed them against a table in an attempt to kill them—a crude process that did not kill them outright.

While Sun Pet is being investigated, PETCO and PetSmart continue to vend live animals like inconsequential objects. Please sign below to ask both stores to stop this despicable practice. For more information, please visit:
