Apr 25, 2008 Petland complaint |
Feb. 2007, I stopped at the Petland Store at Town & County shopping center, whitehall, Oh, to see if they had any kitten formula. out, again. While there, I asked if they had any canary birds. the sales girl first said no, then the manager came up and he said that they had a femal canary that I could have if I bought the cage, etc. I told him OK. They went back in the back where they keep the dogs, cats, and all the bad smells. Out comes this poor canary, poo at least 1/4 of an inch of more in the cage, filthy. The poor thing was blinking it's eyes to adjust to the light. I knew then I had to get this baby out of the store.
His legs were scaley, or rather hers was, very long nails, and she looked so sad. This bird was for my 85 year old Mother. OK, cage, stand, food, cost me over $150.00.
The poor baby was starved for food & a clean cage. She did OK, chirped, played with the toys we had gotten her. The week of 4/15/2007, mom noticed that he was laying in it's dish, after we had gotten back from a funeral out of town. 4/27/2007, Mom went to uncover the bird and it was dead in the bottom of the cage.
Mom called the bird vet right away and they told us to bring the baby out. I cried, Mom cried. Upon an exam by the Avian Vet, Billy, was starved before we got her. It's bone density should have been 30, it was 10. Her bones were very brittle, from the lack of good food, and it was starved before we got it. No matter what we would have done, we couldn't have helped this baby. Found out that the manager was breeding these birds, bringing them into the store to sell.
I called the Humane Society and they went and checked out the store and made a report. Please don't buy anything from any Petland. They also were putting cats out the back door that was brought into the store to be sold. A Lowe's employer told me this, as they seen an employee do it.....
