Another Petco Turtle

Another turtle came in from Petco, this one missing a few toes and part of his tail, making him undesirable as a retail item. We want Petco to stop selling animals, but we also know that isn't likely to happen, so we're willing to maintain a working relationship with them if it means that we can get the occasional reptile or bird off the market and into an appropriate living situation.

You can urge Petco to stop selling animals -- write to their corporate headquarters and tell them that their philosophy on adoptions for dogs and cats should be extended to reptiles, birds, and small mammals, too. Email Petco at AnimalsFirst@Petco.com, or call them at 1-888-824-PALS.
