Have a Heart, PETsMART, Stop Live Animal Sales
This on-line petition is a request for PETsMART to stop selling live animals. We are targetting PETsMART because the petition writer has already lost a PETsMART pet and has corresponded with PETsMART over this matter. By concentrating on one major chain at a time, we hope to convince them to be a trendsetting example to other pet stores. If they stop selling live animals, then many of the pet mills that supply them with livestock will find their profit margin reduced. If other major chains follow PETsMART's lead - then a real dent can be made in all the pet mills; puppy, cat, guinea pig, rat, bird, etc.
Our intention is to appeal to the corporate bottom line of PETsMART by promising support in return for adoption of ethical policies.
It is a small step that might prompt huge changes.
