PETCO = EXTREME CRUELTY TO ANIMALS + CUSTOMER ABUSE! Once again, Petco has been charged in California with cruelty to animals and swindling customers! Deja vu: In 2005, they were charged, convicted and fined over $900, 000 for horrendous animal abuses - including corporate directed freezing, starving, stomping and burning of defenseless animals TO DEATH, all to save money instead of having the sick and injured animals put to sleep humanely by professional vets - and they're at it AGAIN! This time Petco decided to SETTLE FOR $1.75 MILLION DOLLARS instead of the embarassment of an actual trial and being convicted. Why would anyone knowing Petco's LONG AND LEGALLY DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF EXTREME CRUELTY TO ANIMALS and SWINDLING CUSTOMERS ever shop at this evil company's stores again? Please BOYCOTT the Plano, Texas Petco on 15th Street - where a badly trained and sociopathic employee caused the death of our family pet - and ALL Petco stores until this CONVICTED ANIMAL ABUSER is shut down for good! For thousands of verified complaints involving Petco employees maiming, injuring and even killing customers' pets, please visit consumeraffairs.com, pet-abuse.com or any other legitimate consumer complaints website (complaintsboard.com has illegally removed our other complaints about the Plano Petco illegally, probably because they were paid to by Petco's scummy attorneys). Thank you for your help and remember: If you pass this post along to any pet owners or animal lovers you know, you COULD BE SAVING AN INNOCENT ANIMAL'S LIFE!
