Perhaps that will change now, but I can't see how you can fault the screening process for something like this.
Petsmart should definitely be help responsible in some way but at the very least, the screening procedure needs to be re-examined. People have pets, pets can carry/spread all sorts of nasty things. For you people who know about this stuff, how difficult would it be to determine whether or not a donor is a pet owner?
