How can I get this reptile store shut down
I was in this sh*thole of a pet store last week to buy a few feeder rats. This was my first and last time I do business with these a*sholes. This place should be shut down and the owner should be charged with animal cruelty. Now you before you call me a prick or anything, please read my entire post. I called the store 15 minutes in advance and told them I will need three large feeder rats and asked them if they can have them ready for me when I show up. I arrive at the store, and the employees are nowhere to be found. But the first thing I noticed when I walked in was the smell. The overwhelming smell of feces and urine made it unbearable to breathe. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because I own snakes and I know they can smell. But as I was walking around the store looking at the snakes, I noticed that EVERY tank had sh*t and piss in them. None of the snakes and other reptiles had water and no source of proper heat (except for standard light bulbs). They ALL appeared to be underweight and a few of the snakes were in cages way too small. They have an 8 foot anaconda in a small 55 gallon tank that is filled with about 2 inches of p*ss water. Guess what the hell I discovered next? A huge DEAD boa constrictor in one of the tanks. It appeared to be starved to death and it was in the early stages of decomposition. I was shocked! Finally, the owner showed up with my rats. I was going to mention something to him about the DEAD boa, but I was at a lost of words and wanted to get the hell out of there as quickly as I could. When I finally got my rats, I noticed he did not place them in feeder boxes. They were just in a brown paper bag and they nearly chewed their way out by the time I got home. All in all, this sh*thole should be shut down. The owner clearly doesn't know to how to take care of reptiles (despite owning a reptile store), and he doesn't even know he has a dead snake in his shop. F*ck this place. I hope all his animals get placed in good homes or in zoos atleast. This owner is a piece of sh*t that just cares about profit. What can I do? I feel terrible about the living conditions of these animals.
