    A PETA eyewitness documented that thousands of animals were confined to plastic bins stacked in shelving units like filing cabinet drawers at Holmes Farm, a massive animal mill in Pennsylvania that supplies hamsters, rabbits, gerbils, chinchillas, ferrets, and other small animals to hundreds of pet stores across the eastern U.S.
    Based on PETA's evidence, a team of U.S. Department of Agriculture officials descended on Holmes Farm, which is now under federal investigation. PETA's observer never saw any animals receive veterinary care at the facility, despite repeatedly alerting the manager to obviously sick and injured individuals. Instead, workers piled dozens of animals-ranging from rats and gerbils to guinea pigs and even a rabbit-at a time into a feces-smeared cooler and crudely gassed them with carbon dioxide. Their screams could be heard across the room.
    Live rats were stuffed into plastic zipper bags or tossed onto plastic lids and put in a freezer, slowly freezing to death even as some frantically tried to claw their way out.
    During nearly three months at the facility, PETA's observer found hundreds of small animals dead, often in bins in which no water was available.
    This case is hardly an anomaly: Holmes Farm is the fifth animal dealer with ties to PetSmart and/or Petco that PETA has exposed. Please, pledge never to buy pet supplies from retailers that sell any animals. Let the big-box stores' leaders know that you'll instead buy supplies from businesses that don't sell any animals, such as Target, Walgreens, or online retailers:

      I imagine the employees are overstressed and overworked, and they simply don't have time to feel sad about the animals who die or are injured. I would also imagine many employees here simply have no other choice but to keep this job. If anyone's to blame, it's the people in charge.

    This made me cry so many times, and I can’t believe I used to shop at these stores, not knowing what was going on behind closed doors. My sisters had gotten two dwarf hamsters at Petsmart, for a surprise. They were frantic in there cages but my sisters loved them dearly, about three to two weeks go by and we find them less active and one bleeding. They were so fragile and we couldn’t figure out why. Next thing you know they both die out of no where, and now I know why. Because they were kept under such terrible conditions and probably caught a sickness that had developed later on, after they had been adopted. I’m so thankful to have my cat Coco, healthy, sweet, and playful. She was adopted from a shelter out of town were they took good care of her as a kitten and me as her mother and caretaker get to watch her grow. Being a caretaker of an animal is a wonderful experience, you get to build this unbreakable bond, built on love and trust. It breaks my heart to see these animals treated under such cruelty, my sister had recently bought some parakeets from Petsmart and thankfully they’ve appeared healthy. However Jade, our little green and yellow, was very hostile for nearly three weeks, whether that was from cruel treatment or she had a rough time adjusting, I can’t be sure. What I am sure of is that you won’t catch me inside of of Pet store anytime soon.

    I don’t think it’s all PetSmart and PetCo stores that are abusing animals; at my PetSmart, all of the small animals were very healthy and happy looking. While I totally agree the monsters who have put these small animals through these horrible things in this video all deserve to loose their jobs and burn in Hell for eternity, I still have a bit of faith in pet and supply stores. In my PetSmart, most small creatures had their own cages, and those who didn’t had two or three at most. I saw this with guinea pigs and dwarf hamsters. My Syrian hamster was from PetSmart and she was healthy, happy, and friendly the moment we got her. She was also housed in her own cage. We need to attack the individuals who are mistreating animals, not the community.

  • @NightOfTheLiving8bit
    @NightOfTheLiving8bit 3 года назад +2

    The problem with refusing to buy these critters at these stores…is that some terrible future owner will instead buy them. Guaranteeing the animal lives a nightmarish life until it’s death.
    I had to save a baby cavy from my local store, when I witnessed him being clearly way too young to be sold - and helplessly gnawing on the metal bar inside their cage. Since they give them no privacy, chewing supplies or decent nutrients - I went with my instinct and got him.
    He’s approximately 7-8 months old now, and still extremely skittish and afraid of everything. Thankfully he integrated with my senior male pig and they have a great bond.
    Even after daily routines (handling, petting) a massive area to enjoy, plenty of twice daily organic veggies, quality hay, kibble and mentally stimulating toys…he’s only made slight progress over time.
    Which leads me to believe that he must have went through some terrible stuff coming from one of these ‘farms’. And it’s such a shame.

      Yeah some snakes and lizards will only eat thawed, previously frozen, mice or rats. Some suppliers will gas the rodents because it is a quicker and humane way to put them down. I watched a video on a rodent supplier who made frozen feeders for reptiles and he went through the entire process of how they gassed the rodents. After gassing them, he would seel the rodents in bags and freeze them. If I remember correctly, they use carbon monoxide gas to dispatch the feeder rodents.

    Peta tells the truth all the time. They are here to help lower animals, not people animals. If it were not for Peta and the other legitimate animals organizations we would be so far less of a culture than we already are. Being in the laboratory industry in medicine, I've seen the horrors at the labs and have been silenced by some of my peers. I've been chased during continuing education credit (CE credits) when I'd leave my seat to wonder around at UT Southwest Medical Facility in Dallas Texas and chased down and threatened by security guards. I will never stop fighting for animals. Even during my schooling and training in my selected field I had arguments with under-educated teaching assistants on the view about Peta which they said were evil people. They are teaching that Peta is evil, that in 1990. If you are outraged by this then do more than not buy anymore pets from stores, target the stores who sell them until they don't sell animals any longer. That goes for breeders too. Do you really think breeders sell every single one of their breeding off springs? The answer is clearly NO! So, what do they do with them?

I walk into most any Petco or Petsmart and ask them for their disabled pets that are due to return they will more than likely give them to you for free to prevent them Horrible death they can’t sell them because they’re sick or injured so less cases they will give them to you for free

About a month ago when this was all starting, she was getting slower and was not able to eat I fed her by hand but she just want taking it, she later died in my hand right away as I was seeking medical attention, now that I know that these pet stores do this sick stuff I’m never going there again AND may I add the hamster always had a little bump so it wasn’t me that did it but it was petco,
