UPDATE: If you are a registered voter in Lemon Grove, please sign the ballot initiative to extend California’s rescue-only pet store law to birds, requiring pet stores to source birds only from shelters or nonprofit rescues—not commercial breeders. To sign, please contact adhulesh@gmail.com.

Lemon Grove Pet Supplies and Exotics has been abusing and neglecting animals for nearly a decade — and animal control doesn’t seem to care. Take one look at the reviews, and you will see horrific accounts of the abuse people have witnessed for years. Birds and reptiles are kept in uninhabitable conditions, in tiny and dirty cages with no enrichment. Fish are either stuck in drinking glasses with no room to swim, or in overcrowded, filthy tanks. The whole store smells awful, proof of the neglect and failure to take care of these animals properly. 

The man running the store doesn’t allow pictures or videos — he doesn’t want you to provide evidence of his abuse and neglect. Please help us by signing this petition to get his store shut down, for the sake of these beautiful, innocent creatures who are being made to suffer for profit.
