Fish Bowl

This is the most terrible thing that I have ever seen in a pet store. They are selling tattooed mollies. The common tattoo method involves grabbing the fish, taking it out of water or putting it in a very shallow amount of water or a wet paper towl (easier to hold on to), NO anesthesia, and just jabbing it with a ink-filled needle repeatedly, then tossing it back in the holding tank. It's extremely cruel, the mortality rate is astronomical, and it seriously shortens the lifespan of the fish.The inks haven't been through testing like human tattoo ink, and when the cheapest inks possible are used, there's a good chance that something in it might cause cancer, tumors, reproductive damage, or just generally venomous. Pros: large selection Cons: mistreatment of animals more

Honestly, this is the worst pet store I have ever been in. The animals cages are full of feces and flies and the animals look like they have been rolling in it. The smell is so bad I was nauseated. Today ALL of the cats and dogs water bowls were bone dry. Someone needs to help these animals. Pros: Many of the fish were dead and out of their misery Cons: Many of the fish were dead, cages full of feces, inhumane more
