Why are animals being sold in stores at all????? It's wrong on so many levels. But thank God for all the first responders, firefighters for saving the ones they could.... Anyone who saves an animal, wild or domesticated from such a tragedy, are heros just without a cape....
I readin NYC the law just changed so U can't sell pets in stores......I live in Australia and this law has been in for some time. It then requires you to go to an animal shelter and adopt a pet and it;s stops impulse buys on pets......Pet stores still do very well and they sell everthing but the pets.
@karenmbbaxter I know California banned the practice of dogs and cats being sold in pet stores several years ago. One of the very few things they got right. I believe it's the same in Arizona as well. It helps with puppy mill type scenarios as well, which is where the majority of dogs and cats were gotten from until states started banning it.
Thank you first responders for saving as many of the animals that you did. Places like this selling animals needs to be stopped because it is putting the lives of the animals in danger.
A failure of Dallas to regulate animals being kept and sold in such conditions. Absolutely disgusting that so many animals were allowed to be kept in a place like that.
I don't understand why people sold animals in a store that is why I am always sad if the store burns down what about those animals thank you for saving them
You do know a fire can happen at a shelter too right, not just stores? And some stores do bring animals from shelters, to be adopted out as well. Not every store breeds animals.
Am teared up 😢😢😢😢seeing these poor innocent animals suffering but so so grateful beyond words to all the heroic firefighters for working so hard to save these beautiful animals !!!!!!! Hope they find their forever homes🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ my heart is in so much pain for those pity beautiful souls that died 💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏RIP those liitle angels!!!
Thank you heroic firefighter for saving as many of the animals as you could💪❤. How horrible and tragic for all the animals who died/burnt to death. Animals should never be sold in pet stores-it is inhumane and should be outlawed😡😡
There are so many dogs in Texas sitting in shelters and euthanized, why are they allowed dogs being sold in stores from puppy mills,the people need to get together with rescue groups to outlaw these poor animals sold in stores but it's a struggle to get rid of puppy mills, hopefully one day they all will be shut down.
God Bless those Firefighters. Please to the community help adopt these beautiful surviving animals. Also, to the pet shop owner....DO NOT SALE LIVING CREATURES!
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL FIREFIGHTERS. YOU GUYS ARE HEROES! I AM INCREDIBLY THANKFUL FOR SAVING THEIR LIVES🙏THANK YOU TO THE AMAZING LADY THAT CALLED 911 TO SAVE THESE BABIES LIVES. YOU ARE AN ANGEL 🙏
May all 579 dogs or whoever many they were rest in peace, such pain to die to fire. Worse possible way these loveable animals could’ve let go of this earth.
'The dead animals were mostly small birds along with two dogs, two cats, hamsters and chickens. Two dozen animals survived, including miniature pigs, guinea pigs and rabbits. They’re now in the custody of Dallas Animal Services, according to CBS affiliate KTVT. The fire caused a partial roof collapse and a great deal of smoke that wafted to a pet shop in the rear of the building. No people were injured.' 'Flames from the fire did not reach the animals but they died from smoke inhalation, the Dallas fire and rescue (DFR) spokesperson Jason Evans said.' Washington Times/Guardian
Thank you for providing these details. I second all the sentiments about the lady that called and the rescuers. All life lost, even a tiny bird (some people think birds are worthless) were valuable. But honestly I get some relief knowing these poor babies died of smoke. Still horrible that they died, but I’m hoping with as little pain as possible 😢😢😢😢.
Canadians in the comment section would definitely complain about the firefighters helping animals instead of humans but I think these guys are heroic and thank you for helping the helpless sweet babies♥️
Why do you think you can speak for all of us? We didn't give you permission. You only speak for yourself. And go for therapy cause something is wrong in your head. Kind warning. The sooner you solved it, the better.
Why the hell do pet shops still exist???? with so many (too many) dogs and cats and now other animals of other species in kennels, why do there still exist shops where animals are SOLD????
It upsets me that some animals died. Truly glad that others were saved by those dedicated firefighters. To watch them work on those small animals was so emotional. Thank you to every firefighter. Not only are you hero's but you are also walking angels.❤❤. As for the shop owner absolutely disgusting what did. ❤❤ UK.
Perritos😭🙏🏻🐶 seres vivos INOCENTES no merecen la CRUELDAD de algunos humanos que son crueles con ellos, pido a DIOS por ellos y por los perrito que ya han fallecido están en el cielo, sin sufrimiento GRACIAS DE TODO CORAZÓN a los rescatistas por su ayuda y misericordia ❤🐕😭🥹🙏🏻 deseó que encuentren un hogar amoroso ❤🥹🐕
This is disgusting! Those animals should never have been in that shopping center! Owners making easy money from puppies & kittens supplied from puppy/kitten mills. It's a damn shame!
From a cat mom in Northwest Georgia, thank you for saving the lives that you did. I do agree with other people commenting why animals are being sold out of a store. And especially in a mall. This is definitely a warning and a deadly example of why animals don't need to be secured in the stores in case emergencies like this happen. Let's rethink the selling of animals. Let's get them into proper places of adoption where they are not in danger like this anymore.
God those poor kitties, puppies and birds that died. I can only imagine the kitties were probably desperately trying to claw their way out of those cages 😪😪😪
I guarantee this fire was caused by a human! We TRULY do not deserve dogs 🐕😭 or any animals for that matter. They are angels on earth 🌎🙏😢 God bless them all 💔
How big was the building of this 'pet store' for it to have over 600 animals?! I couldn't imagine it was big enough to house that many!! People will make money off of anything this is just absolutely disgusting!! what an incredibly sad loss of lives this is!! I hope that whoever is responsible suffers the consequences that comes along with this 🤬🤬🤬
Unfortunately, many smaller animals-reptiles, rodents, etc are crammed into cages and the wiring to heat these cages in pet stores (and homes!) is often dangerously inadequate.
Are the puppies left without carer overnight !!? Should be illegal. Same with pet stores, dog/cat breeders should only be family home based. They live uncaged, they need to be raised emotionally healthy.
Those firefighter are true Heroes, but how do you form CPR on a Tortoise ? maybe he had to blow down it's nose because you can't do compressions on it's carapace. I love Tortoise, had a pair of them as a kid.
All these fires in that area are from someone. Too many of them lately all some what in that area. I remember while back dumpsters were set on fire now businesses are.
HMMMMMMMMMMM Plaza Latina IN USA ..................Thank God pups are ok but shame on people who had them in a store for sale most pet stores are shut down now for this very reason
Have some respect for first responders man. You know absolutely nothing about doing their job and the circumstances surrounding each incident. I hope you never need their help.
@Deckelmaho1234567889, okay, big mouth. I dare you to try to become a firefighter and get the " too much pay". But you won't. Because you are a mouthy coward.

it's banned in Illinois also.
Indeed. Please don't buy, adopt.
Some of these stores have shelter pets for sale in their stores.
Thank you first responders for saving as many of the animals that you did. Places like this selling animals needs to be stopped because it is putting the lives of the animals in danger.
I pray every single one gets their beautiful loving forever homes !!
A failure of Dallas to regulate animals being kept and sold in such conditions. Absolutely disgusting that so many animals were allowed to be kept in a place like that.
Thank you first responders !
This pet store should be outlawed
They should have had more protection in place for those animals.
I don't understand why people sold animals in a store that is why I am always sad if the store burns down what about those animals thank you for saving them

Thank you to the Hero’s that saved lives❤
This is another reason pet stores should be outlawed!
Hideous places and those poor animals. Good grief!
But, no words about PEOPLE who might have been hurt?
No dogs, cats, puppies, kittens are sold in NYState!
Thank you firefighters for save those precious babies
THANK YOU BLESS ALL THE PETS/ANIMALS AND THESE HEROIC PEOPLE.
Poor babies😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤
😢 someone should be with them 24/7. Pet stores are such a risk.
The first responders are truly our heroes.

Only two dogs died. The other two are cats but the rest are birds.

How do you know what Canadians think. I'm Canadian and I'd save animals rather than people anytime.
Why do you think you can speak for all of us? We didn't give you permission. You only speak for yourself. And go for therapy cause something is wrong in your head. Kind warning. The sooner you solved it, the better.

❤ omg! So glad some of them were able to be rescued by the ff’s! So grateful for these heroes! 😢not all were able to be saved.

Thank you to the firefighters 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
That “bazaar” is a dump and the conditions they have those animals in are illegal and abhorrent.
THAT’S what you should be reporting on.
God's work thsnk you!
This is disgusting! Those animals should never have been in that shopping center! Owners making easy money from puppies & kittens supplied from puppy/kitten mills. It's a damn shame!

Poor babies
Ban pet stores...period
God bless thse firefighters.
God those poor kitties, puppies and birds that died. I can only imagine the kitties were probably desperately trying to claw their way out of those cages 😪😪😪
They must had a pet store the size of a mansion how do you store so
Many animals .. so many hazards .. Smh
Good job, firemen!!
Why is that reporter smiling when giving the news about the poor puppies suffering.
The Dallas shelters are overflowing with unwanted dogs are killed every day for space. Please don't let the owner of this sick business to reopen!
Poor baby and the name of Jesus .let them all be helped
Why do pet stores still exist?
I guarantee this fire was caused by a human! We TRULY do not deserve dogs 🐕😭 or any animals for that matter. They are angels on earth 🌎🙏😢 God bless them all 💔

Does anyone know what animals died? How many other animals died, and what animals were they?
Heros ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow I never know you could do CPR on a tortoise who knew
My hero
porque siguen permitiendo la venta de animales en los pet shops?
BAN PUPPY STORES!!! 😢
Are the puppies left without carer overnight !!?
Should be illegal. Same with pet stores, dog/cat breeders should only be family home based. They live uncaged, they need to be raised emotionally healthy.
Same thing I was thinking.
Was it arson?
Probably a mentally unstable homeless person
Sad 🙏
❤❤❤
Stop pet stores !!!
💔😡
I thought you can't sell puppies or kitten in pet stores anymore, only rescue groups provide the animals for adoptions.
Great dempart great job animals are family too
Those firefighter are true Heroes, but how do you form CPR on a Tortoise ? maybe he had to blow down it's nose because you can't do compressions on it's carapace. I love Tortoise, had a pair of them as a kid.
Spero che gli aguzzini paghino per i loro crimini. Questi negozi sono dei lager e devono essere chiusi tutti
SAD? Its CRIMINAL!
All pet stores should be shut down!
Animals should never be sold.
Adopt don't shop
SAD
All these fires in that area are from someone. Too many of them lately all some what in that area. I remember while back dumpsters were set on fire now businesses are.
This is horrible
❤ FF/EMS + Police 💙
Awww poor scruffs
That's a lot of different animals in one shop. Doesn't seem legit
Animals shouldn't be sold anyway
Omg
Doing cpr on a tortoise seems like it would be difficult.
How could a mall have a fire ?? Suspicious ! So all poor animals were saved, right ?
nope 579, dead mostly birds, that number has been decreased as time goes by but 579 was the first number quoted by the fire department
@ so sad 😭
"Exotic pet store"...featuring puppies?? Looks like some trashy ghetto building unsafe for humans or animals.
HMMMMMMMMMMM Plaza Latina IN USA ..................Thank God pups are ok but shame on people who had them in a store for sale most pet stores are shut down now for this very reason
They fire fighters can save a Dog but can't save a man burning in a garage.
Have some respect for first responders man. You know absolutely nothing about doing their job and the circumstances surrounding each incident. I hope you never need their help.
@TruthwillsetUfree1, he is just another big mouth with no brain.
Did a fireman start this fire? They have started numerous forest fires.
That’s their job and the pay they get is too much. No hero’s….zeroes!
@Deckelmaho1234567889, okay, big mouth. I dare you to try to become a firefighter and get the " too much pay". But you won't. Because you are a mouthy coward.
Poor babies
