Hamsters are popular small pets known for their cute appearance and playful nature. These furry creatures have gained significant attention on Change.org with petitions focusing on animal welfare and ethical treatment. Key issues and themes in these petitions include advocating for proper care and housing for hamsters, banning unethical breeding practices, and promoting responsible pet ownership.
Notable petitions have called for stricter regulations on pet stores selling hamsters to prevent overcrowding and ensure humane conditions. Another petition highlights the importance of adopting from shelters or rescues rather than supporting commercial breeding facilities.

Fellow ex-petsmart employee. I often felt like the only one who truly cared for the animals well being. The store conure would often hangout on my shoulder during the day if it wasn’t too busy. I was also often praised for how well a job I did cleaning and caring for the animals but reprimanded for taking longer than the ~30-1hr allocated time to clean & feed those same animals. Even though part of that time was spent cutting up fruits and veggies while still dealing with idiotic customers (9/10 customers in were dumb to the point of asking if a hamster needed to be fed/touched daily and then wanting to purchase one for her 8yr old daughter with no preparation and then screaming at me as she left the store. I was 17 years old).
As a customer who goes to the store for Comet Goldfish care, it breaks my heart to see them unconscious and not putting them in hospital tanks. I don't want to see any dead fish.... Nor having to look behind closed doors...
(I'm in Bakersfield, a PetSmart is there.) Thank you for making this petition, you are a hero, a light shining in the dark. It's time to end this cruelty.
We have “rescued” 5 conures from store off of Knights Way. Horrible state these birds were in. I can’t believe they let kids bang on enclosure and out birds on lower level easier to reach. So many things are so sad about treatment of the conures. We are so happy to sign this petition ❤️
