Dear Aaaaaaa,
A new PETA exposé reveals fatal failures to provide sick, injured, and dying animals—some with contagious diseases—with veterinary care at three PetSmart, Inc., stores across the country.
Based on PETA's evidence of systemic neglect and widespread animal suffering at a Nashville, Tennessee, store, the city's Metro Animal Care and Control executed a search warrant at the store this morning and opened a criminal investigation.
As you can see in the video footage, managers at the Nashville store repeatedly refused to provide animals with desperately needed veterinary care in order to "keep costs down" so that they would receive bonuses.
PETA's investigation also included stores in Brandon, Florida, and Peoria, Arizona. At the Brandon store, a manager admitted that "every single one" of PetSmart's animals came from "terrible" mills and that PetSmart is "a horrible place for animals." A supervisor at the Peoria store told the eyewitness that workers didn't take sick and injured animals for free in-store veterinary exams because "they don't want animals [in a back room] to take care of."
Please take a moment today to tell PetSmart that you refuse to buy anything—even supplies—from its stores as long as it sells live animals.
Thank you for your compassion for animals and for your willingness to take action.
Sincerely,
Sarah Deffinger
