Petland abuse to puppies, small furries, and people Dunwoody Georgia

Thank you AKA for speaking your mind, and letting everyone know the truth. The girl is obviously a disgruntled employee, especially if she was fired.

As for you stating that a 6-week old pug was abused, we never received a puppy under the age of 8-weeks unless it was from an in-state breeder (ie. dachshunds who are 7-weeks old at time of arrival). Being on the topic of breeders, Pet Counselors are told during training that dogs are from both local and out-of-state breeders. One cannot receive several breeds from just one state therefore having to acquire dogs from several states is the only way to have a diverse selection. Also, the dogs are only on an eight hour car ride and not in semi-trucks; climate controlled vans are used for transportation. They arrive via a two-party crew; one to drive and the other to supervise the puppies at all times. Anyone that was there at time of arrival would be aware of these items or any employee that was curious was always more than welcome to ask and be present at arrivals.

The gerbils "fighting" is a common dominace trait in which the small animals determine order in their clan. Yes, when one was attacked they were separated but they could not be rehabiliated either.

The birds were separated if you remember correctly but as you may know they also jumped into each others cages since birds typically fly (they do have wings!) One bird in particular was housed with several other birds of its species and was repeatedly picked on by same species birds but that also relates to the dominace as mentioned above. The bird in question was later housed separately (but you had already been fired by then!) Per the birds being available to be handle that is part of the experience that was provided at the store. Birds require near constant stimuli and this interaction enables us to provide that much-needed socalizations. Anyone that had harassed birds or otherwise bothered them were asked to stop and shown and/or taught appropriate techniques. Any continued harrassement of the birds (or any animal for that fact) were asked to leave.

As for the rabbit comment, when owning a large python, rats no longer become a viable source of food. Rabbits have more body fat than rats providing more nutrients. Also, a burmese python would have to eat a dozen large rats to sustain itself rather than one large rabbit. Finally, the store always received feeder rabbits for those individuals who needed them.

From a former worker who still frequents the store and recommends others there, I hope that you realize that what you are saying is completely incorrect and that you're bashing comes across as hostility from a disgruntled emploee.
