Teske's is a local pet store in Moline, Illinois. Their treatment of animals is HORRIFIC. Some even ending in death. Here is Kane's story..

Darcy, a long time employee allowed Kane (Pictured minutes before death) to suffer. She stated she had him for 6 months prior (without any vet treatment). After customers complained to them about his condition, she finally gave him to someone who could better care for him. In the hands of his new care taker, is where he spent his last hours and took his final breath.  Here is Jillians Story..

"Kane was, and still is, a huge part of this world. He was an animal at a local mom and pop pet shop that was neglected, and abused in the truest sense of the word. I went in to the shop and was notified that if I wanted Kane I could have him for free as he was started to get sick. Darcy, the "rat lady", at teskes in moline illinois, stated she had got him 6 months prior to this day when someone brought him in not wanting him anymore. She claimed she had only gotten a couple litters from him when he stopped breeding and was showing signs of being ill.
Kane was on the sale floor. She would have sold him to anyone else for the price that was on his tank $8.99.

Kane was malnourished, had brittle white teeth and was so badly covered in mites and lice that they were very much so visible to the naked eye. She had no care done for him in any way besides a regular cleaning of his tank and just throwing food in for him, which he couldn't eat because his teeth were way too over grown. She admitted that in the whole time she'd known he was sick she didn't get him vet care. This animal was only in my home, life and family for 6 hours before he took his last breath while laying in my lap! There is no way that should go unpunished! Kane deserves justice! His life did not end in vain and I will only blatantly put it this way, what if it was your pet or your child that had suffered for SIX months!? Wouldn't you want justice? Wouldn't he/she DESERVE justice?"- Jillian.

We ask any and all to help us receive justice for Kane. Please sign and share this petition. We don't know how many other animals are in the care of this pet store, but we do know, if they couldn't take the time to care for a Rat, they have no right "caring" for any animal.
