Flexpetz prostitites animals to turn a profit

Target:
pr@flexpetz.com

     The website flexpetz offers the service of 'renting' pets.  To some, this seems like a good idea for a person that is unable to have a pet in their house full time or travels a good bit. But, how might this effect the pets? 
     Not giving an animal a stable environment may negatively effects that animals emotional wellbeing. In the same way confined animals are effected by their environment, not giving these animals a stable environment can also have detrimental effects on their emotions and potential fatal consequences for the involved humans if one of these pets can not take the pressure of this type of a life.

   We the undersigned feel that your business may have unintended consequences for both the animals and humans involved.

      First, the pets may suffer unintentional emotional damage by not having a single stable environment to live in.

     Second, this may adversely effect the humans involved if one of these animals can no longer take the pressure of this type of a life.

     Finally, we feel that the use of animals for profit is unacceptable, especially when there is the possibility of emotional damage.

We will continue to feel this way untill you issue a public statement declaring that you are taking the emotional wellbeing of the animals into account and focus more on helping the animals than making money.

There is more at stake here than profit.

Thank you for taking the time to read this petition.

Hey, FlexPetz, we shut you out of Massachusetts--your pricey lobbyist didn't prevent us from passing a law that makes pet renting illegal here. We hear you're trying to repackage yourself as a "pet adoption agency that offers tryouts," but activists in other communities are on to you. They'll shut you down too. Better go peddle swampland...or Carradan Skis.

STOP IT! There are enough horrors in the homeless pet world without you making profits from INNOCENT lives that cannot speak for themselves. Hey, do you rent your kids too?

Flexpetz is wrong as it's completely unfair on the dogs. You don't rent out children to childless couples so why do the same with dogs!!

Mais où va-t-on ? Je n'avais encore jamais entendu parler de "location" d'animal de compagnie. Bien entendu que l'animal de compagnie a besoin d'un environnement stable, à commencer par une seule famille et une seule maison. La bêtise humaine s'arrêtera-t-elle un jour ? Je n'ose y croire.

FlexPetz should stop renting these precious animals. Animals are hurt emotionally and physiologically through this cruel act. They are pack animals, and they need to be with their pack. changing environment and people on them is very stressful and confusing. Boycott Flexpetz and help animals.
