Evil Evil Pet Store!

Their husbandry is unspeakable! The biggest cage they have there (for herps) couldn't have been any more than a 20gallon tank! Probably smaller. It was a female veiled and it was PURPLE! Not dark green or grey... PURPLE! I couldn't believe it. I walked by it and it was gaping like no tomorrow. I thought of doing something but when I came by the next day, it was gone... don't know what happened to it but I think I can guess...

lets not mention names of stores negitively here please

i do find that the store you mentioned is not the greatest for taking care of their stock!

one stoere i find to be far above the vast majority of stores is super pet! they take good care of their animals and provide enough space for them to live comfortabley! i also find their knogledge to be good, not much that a website wouldnt tell you!

Let's not mention names of stores positively here please...
Seriously, how do the mods feel about this? A bad experience with a breeder or seeing bad husbandry at a pet shop. You have to be able to inform others of these kind of problems. Thanks.

If folks want to carry on private discussions through email, that's their decision, but let's not discuss specific businesses on the message boards, okay?

Yes, web sites get sued for libel all the time and we don't want that happening here.

I was one of the rare people who took care of the reptiles .... most didnt care ..or didnt have the knowledge ..even the managers were seriously lacking knowledge ...and still are ... for some moronic stories...email me ..... some funny ..others just plain dumb

I think all the moderators need to get together and decide what is acceptable and what isnt. I have seen other store names mentioned without editing. It makes me think someone is getting a kickback from certain stores for xxxing out the competition. Recently a poster ripped on a breeder with multiple posts about their terrible service. It was allowed to continue with no editing. I am opposed to any editing but if you are going to do it at least be consistant......

Well I just spent 20 minutes typing up a post about mods and crap, but I decided to erase it and just post this one. All I'm going to say is that with great power comes responsibility (yeah uncle Ben), and most people with power, even a little insignificant ammount, abuse it.

Case closed.

I agree...I don't want this site shut down....There should be no bashing against any store or breeder. But if you have something nice to say....well I don't see how anyone can sue someone over saying something nice....

This is what happens when companys fight back
He lost but if you mess with a powerful chain that makes millions of dollars a year they grab lawyers who will eat you alive and send the webmaster into severe bankruptcy

PetSwarehouse.com Sues Hobbyists

Robert Novak, claimed owner of Petswarehouse.com has filed a 15 million dollar lawsuit against several aquarium hobbyists who have posted critical comments about his business. A special website has been set up by John Benn for contributing to the defense fund, and progress on the case. You can follow discussions about the lawsuit at http://petsforum.com/psw/

if you look at the website it explains more
but he sued because people were compaining of him ripping them off but its very close to the same thing it was in the pet industry
on a message board
