Recently I saw a new pet store in a small town near me. In addition to cavies, I am a fish person. At the time I had a betta suffering from a bacterial infection. So, I decided to drive to this new store because frankly it was a better option than the Walmart and my fish could not wait for some medicine.
I went in and too my surprise they sold no animals...except for a few bettas in the small fish section..but, besides that no animals.
They did however have about 5-6 cats from the local shelter up for adoption.
I totally get how adopting these cats earns revenues as the new cat owners will then purchase cat stuff from the store. But, this store does not keep the cycle going by selling animals.
I am wondering if this is a bad store or should I avoid shopping there??
Or maybe you have heard of it before, it is a chain, (broken link removed)
I do not like that they have Bettas in bowls, but the ladies working did seem to favor selling ten gallons with the Bettas and not Bettas bowls.
I can't figure this one out. They focus on selling only supplies and not animals (I guess Bettas don't count as animals, but I will pick my battles).
What do you guys think? What is your logic about this one?
P.S. I honestly want to know because it would make a nice "emergency" go to store.
