It is so sad. In another two or three weeks I dread all the dumped puupies, kittens, and small animals from impulse Christmas shopping. On another board, a Petsmart pig developed a URI two weeks after purchase (surprise) the owner took it back to Petsmart and got another. Petco assured her that they would treat it in the "hospital" in the back of the store and she could purchase it if it improved. You know the poor pig (who they claimed to love ssssoooo much) is in a cage in the back without meds with the staff uncaring as to whether she makes it on her own or dies all alone. People were begging her to not turn it back into the store, even telling her that the pig would probably be killed, she refused to pay for a vet bill so she traded it for a new one. It makes me very sad for the pig and angry at the owner.
