I went to this place once, and that is all it took. Their isles were lined with cages filled with different types of fancy chicken-type birds, and more than one of them were dead. They had been dead for a while by the smell. Their puppies were kept in cages with glass siding, no water, no food, no blankets for protection from the metal grating beneath their feet. The place was as hot as an oven, and the puppies were barely active, they were panting so hard to keep cool. Some of their fish tanks couldn't be seen through the muck, one had a filter that was clogged with dead fish to the point it was making a terrible sound. I left without buying anything, on account of having to hold my six year old son as he wept hysterically at the terribly abusive conditions of this building. On our way out, the two teenage staff members began mimicking his crying to mock him. The manager, who was standing by the door, did nothing regarding their behavior. He was busy posting signs asking people to donate their unwanted kittens to the store. This place is a fate worse than death for these poor creatures. Someone should demolish this pit, and throw the slack-jawed addicts who work there in prison.
