Undercover Investigation Reveals Cruelty to Animals at PetSmart Stores

Away from public view and off-limits even to many of PetSmart’s employees, PetSmart’s back rooms hide away the immense suffering of the littlest companion animals.

At the PetSmart store in Manchester, Connecticut, a location that PetSmart boasts of as having an “exceptional pet care record,” PETA’s undercover investigation documented more than 100 animals — including hamsters, domestic rats, lizards, chinchillas, and birds — who lay hopelessly, just waiting to die, in the store’s “sick room,” deprived of desperately needed veterinary care and wasting away out of customers’ sight.

Please join PETA in calling on PetSmart to end live-animal sales. Let the multibillion-dollar company know that you will not be setting foot in any of its stores until live animals are no longer part of the inventory.
