Wingin' It Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I went to a pet store today and asked for snails..."what arev you doing with them"...well my puffer will probably eat them. "Oh...ok..I'll be right back..." Two or three minutes later the manager comes by and tells me...we don't sell animals to be eaten. I can't sell you these snails. Ok...what are the Fatheads for? She says, oh...except for those. I say...what about those feeder goldfish...? She says...oh and those. So you DO sell animals to be eaten...what?! While I get why some personal aquarist would care where their aquaria goes...why is it that this particular chain care's at all? And about a snail no less. Just wierd.

ckmullin Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 People are so over hyped up about being politically correct...neurons are misfiring all across society. Half the population would be either committed or in jail if we did now what was acceptable 20 years ago. (...and it's not that society is evolving and getting better! BAH) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukes25 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I bet I know the chain you're talking about, the gf bought a dwarf aquatic frog last week, and we had to sign a waiver about being a responsible pet owner before they could sell it to us...

Wingin' It Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I will likely never buy from them ever again...I was steaming mad when I left there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearBarry1 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 So what do they do if one of their fish kills another? Kill it? Now what about the store employee who did the killing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syno321 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 In Britain it is illegal to feed a live vertebrate: ie: feeder goldfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjones Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Why don't they pay more attention and care to the dying fish the keep in their tanks?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpuffer Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I tried buying crab for my puff...same thing. Can't sell u. I even had to complete adoption papers for crab that I bought from exact same store prior to this one...lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimmer Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 So if I said I planned to place it in a pan full of salt and leave the salt pan on the pavement in plus 30 weather they'd be fine as long as myself or any animal in my house doesn't eat it? Really though the correct answer would have been I'm going to put it in an aquarium and keep it until it dies of natural causes. And there is nothing as natural as a puffer or loach enjoying a snail.

Wingin' It Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hahaha...exactly. easier to just not buy there I guess. 😈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayWho Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 ...the correct answer would have been I'm going to put it in an aquarium and keep it until it dies of natural causes... Say no more. No need to elaborate. It's none of their business anyway. Political correctness is way overboard these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
