Petco
Sick Hamsters Housed With Healthy Ones at Brentwood Store

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, 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 have even purchased animals just to nurse them back to health because I felt sorry for them. I do not understand why Petco is allowed to sell live animals if the chain cannot care for them properly.
