Amazed at what I saw at the pet store today....

So I stopped in at ********** today just to see what they had for chameleons. They had a nice looking Carpet Chameleon, a baby Panther, both housed in very small aquariums which made me kind of upset..... and then I noticed something that made me really angry.

They have a 20 gallon aquarium that has a screen top without any heat lamp housing 4 Veileds in it (2 males and 2 females), all about 6 months old or so. They were all completely black in color, most likely from a combination of stress and being cold. They were all climbing on the screen top and clawing at each other. This made me quite sick to see them being treated this way and the 16 year old punk working there was completely clueless about caring for chameleons.

Anyway, I'm thinking this has got to be animal cruelty if I've ever seen it, although I don't know what I can do about it. Who do you report pet stores like this to? Is there anything I can do about it besides buying them?, which isn't in my budget and they're most likely going to die soon anyway. Any comments you all have would be appreciated.
