Close down "The Pet Store" at the Cornwall Square

Hello everyone,

There have been countless cases of sick, dying and/or mistreated animals bought from this pet store in particular.  He has not owned it very long, but ever since I have heard many horror stories, and many have been shared on the facebook page created: "Boycott 'The Pet Store' at the Cornwall Square shopping center". 

I, myself, attempted to buy a black baby guinea pig who did not seem well. At first glance, I assumed he was comfortable in his cage, but immediately after leaving the store I realized the poor little guy could not even stand in the box he had placed him in. I wanted to open the lid immediately because the box did not have any ventilation (holes to breathe).
We returned it, being accused by the store owner of having hurt the animal ourselves and refusing to take it back.  After insisting, he did take the animal and dunked its face in a water bowl several times.  The guinea pig choked and sneezed and he ignored our protestations and our questions as to why he would do such a thing. The following day I had a friend visit the pet store, and that little black guinea pig was no longer on the shelves.

There have been cases with birds, reptiles, dogs, cats, small pocket pets, fish, etc... None of these animals are in a proper set up. None are medicated while in his posession and none are properly taken care of or brought to see a vet if ill.

If you are tired of an unjust cause profiting from the pain of innocent creatures, then I urge you to sign this petition.  Only we can make a difference.  It is too easy to turn a blind eye to this sort of treatment.

Help save a life today. Do the right thing.
