How can I contact someone to take a look at the horrible condition animals are living in at a pet store?

P.E.T.A

You can call the SPCA, but they will tell you to phone the police department. Pet stores are required by law to provide proper care for these animals, so they're the only ones who can really do anything about it. The big problem is, most police officers aren't properly educated in this area so what they see may not be considered horrible. Or, you may get some cops that are angry they have to go and investigate a pet store. What I would do, after calling the police department, if nothing changes really educate yourself of proper care of the animals sold. One day, go in with a pen and a paper, and a digital camera(to take pictures as evidence), and right down everything that is unacceptable, and make a HUGE scene! Get people to listen to you, talk really loudly, complain a lot about the abuse these animals go through. Educate the people in the store about how harmful this is, educate people in your town about what the pet store is doing. Give the animals a voice! I really hope that works, and I'm sorry how irritating and painful it is to see animals in that kind of shape. Try your best, and even if it doesn't go well always remember that you did your very best. You gave the animals a voice, whether people listen to you or not unfortunately isn't in your hands.

get animal control on the phone!!!!! or go to them! i hate animal cruelty

Call the Humane Society in your area. If they are not the people to contact, they will know who to contact. http://www.hsus.org/ http://www.hsus.org/pets/animal_shelters/how_to_find_your_local_animal_shelter.html

=( =( gosh i really wish i could help you!!!!! you maybe could call the police because it's like a puppy mill which is totally cruel. they can get in serious trouble for that.. report it asap... i wish i could help you find the place to find those animals safe homes. i feel sick to my stomach even hearing about this. and thank you for asking for help!!

Call the local animal welfare office.... Or the local humane society.

Not sure where you are, so I dont know what the laws consst of for running a pet shop. But I can tell you this.....I am a dog groomer that has my own shop here in my home and to legally run a business where animals are concerned you have to have a kennel license. Which means you have to pay a legal fee to obtain a license and be inspected by the Dpt. of Agriculture every 6 months or you will be put out of business. They come in and inspect for sanitation, wellfare and treatment of the animals, safety, record keeping, ect... I am in Georgia and I know for a fact that this law applies in MOST states. Call the information operator and ask for the DEPARTMENT Of AGRICULTURE. They will be happy to hear what you have to say about this place AND the vet next door. It is a government run agency ;) It would also be a good idea to contact your local humane society and animal shelter to get them involved. Good luck I hope that you will pursue it, something needs to be done about it. ADDED: The lump that your dog experienced after the shot is actually a common reaction to vaccinations in alot of dogs. It can take a few days or even a few weeks to go away.

you will probably need to contact the Los Angeles Animal Shelter. here is there website: http://www.laanimalservices.com/ http://www.laanimalservices.com/serv_animalcruelty.htm or if you are more in ventura area, than here is there website: http://www.vcar.us/ good luck! and you are doing a great thing by calling them!

Best Friends Animal Society is a huge no kill sanctuary that helps in the fight against puppy and breeding mills. Maybe if you contact them they can point you in a direction to help end the senseless misery of these poor animals. I just received a newsletter with an article about puppymills. http://www.bestfriends.org/
