Pretty sad story...
I bought my BP (Monty) been about 4 or 5 months ago now. Well, went by the pet store yesterday where I got Monty to get some mice only to find it full of city police and some other people. Apparently, the owners had took off and went on vacation and left all the animals with nobody to care for them... I talked with one of the officers and they said there had been nobody in the store for atleast 2 weeks... How can anyone be so careless? I mean, they had a lot of exotic pets in there. Birds, snakes, turtles, dogs, cats, etc...

Hard To Believe!!!

I wonder if these jerks are enjoying their vacation. Maybe when they get back the police will give them a nice, long one-behind bars.

VERY good question!!! And if the city does come down on them, it would certianly serve them right!!!

And yeah Josh, very, very irresponsible!!! But they did say all the animals are fine, just a lil underfed... They also said they where gonna try to find good homes for them all...

If anyone would be interested, the pet store is in Paintsville, KY...
