Today I was at Petco in Brentwood, CA. I observed an employee give a seemingly healthy hamster to a customer from an enclosure with a sick animal that seemed to have wet-tail disease (It had a wet bottom and was shivering).in an adjacent enclosure I saw a hamster with both eyes infected and it was also housed with other animals.in San Francisco I often saw sick, dead, and badly injured animals of all types not getting the care they needed. I've even purchased animals just to nurse them back to health because I felt sorry for them. I don't understand why Petco is allowed to sell live animals if the chain can't care for them properly.
