My favorite bit of marketing trickery is when they put their policy on adoption signs right onto the guinea pig cage! It APPEARS to the passersby that the pigs/rodents are up for "adoption" when in fact they are NOT. They do not include rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, rats, hamsters, mice and birds as "Pets", but specifically cats and dogs according to the details hidden in their website.

I recently noticed this at a PetStupid store. They had placed stickers right onto the guinea pig/rodent cages which referenced their instore adoption center. When I asked to see the manager and asked him what shelter those animals were from he was very angry at me. He knew I'd called him on something and said that "pets" means cats and dogs and that these animals were for sale.
