I reported them 7 years ago, they still have the same unethical principles and appear to be above the law

When visiting pets galore with my 2 young children we witnessed such cruelty! They had loads of chickens in a small cage and one was getting pecked to death by the others, When I approached the store manager she simply smiled at me saying 'we will deal with it' I said again to her that she needed to take the chicken out now or it would be killed! She just smiled at me, she had no intention of getting that bird out. I went in to try to help it because I will not have my children growing up thinking it's acceptable to leave an animal suffering! She then got very aggressive and in my face threatening me! I was holding my 4yr olds hand and holding my 2 yr old at the time. They were terrified!
The place was filthy, so many birds in each small cage. I couldn't bring myself to look at anything more than the birds. The stench was awful! They must have a licence to sell animals? Why on earth is this licence not removed!!?

Seeing the state of the animals and the place. It's contaminated with chemicals and disease from the food and the animals feces. It's utterly disgrace! It's disgusting to see the animals in their position of not being treated the way they should be treated, including needles, food they should be having and motivation they should get daily. They need to be shut now. There is dirt, dust and disgusting cockroaches all through the place.
Need this to be sign for the people to shut down and take the poor animals out of that place!

Absolutely disgusting, this place should've been closed down years ago!

Almost every time I enter let's galore there is a dead animal left in cages or some other thing wrong. For example you cannot sell underaged guinea pigs and yet time and time again there are tiny animals for sale.

Previously I took a badly injured guinea pig that was placed in with a new rat, WHO WAS SEPERATED FOR BEING AGGRESSIVE. The guinea pig was tiny, the back of her neck was ripped open and she had a few other open wounds. The blood was dried so it wasn't as if we saw her right after the incident. After informing the very unhelpful staff member who was going to put her in the tea room so she could "take her to the vet after work" which was obviously not an option for the badly injured little creature we opted to take her ourselves. We got her to the vet and she cost around $300 or more to get her stitched up. She survived with only muscle damage to her front right leg. She was a lovely girl and lived a full life with a hobble.

The thing is that she would have died slowly in the tea room, we took her under the impression she would be euthanized but she had a chance.

Countless people have had countless times of finding corpses in cages.

This is disgraceful how can they be allowed to keep doing this
All those poor animals
What are humans becoming to do this to innocent pets

I have been in to Pets Galore and was absolutely apalled by the state that the animals are kept in. The smell was horrific and animals were living in their own urine and faeces. Absolutely disgusting!

(Miles, 2017-03-14)

Pets Galore is a disgrace and has been for years, i cannot understand how it is still operating when we have complained about the state of the animals in there and the RSPCA never does anything!!!

This is truly despicable.

(Highton, 2017-03-14)

Pet stores selling live animals needs to stop. This place has a history of poor care (or no care) given to their animals. Shut them down or ban pet stores from selling live animals

(Carters Ridge, 2017-03-14)

This place is disgusting and the animals are in poor state. It stinks and the owner is an ignorant, impolite human.

This place is disgusting.
I visited Pets Galore quite recently and there were dead mice and budgies, dead fish and the place had a smell that was more then suffocating. I had to rush outside to get fresh air.
If I can stand to stay in there for more then 5 minutes, how can the pets!

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

This store does not care about the welfare of animals

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

This place is disgusting and dangerous for animals. Unhygienic and poorly supervised.

(Brisbane, 2017-03-16)

#108

The last time i went into pets galore to purchase a guinea pig (6 years ago), they were all torn open and bleeding from fighting. The cage was filthy and they looked hungry. We put in a complaint to the staff who shrugged it off. Ive never been back since.

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

#109

not looking after the animals properly? well i 100% agree in shutting down this morons store

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

#112

Pets Galore need to be closed. The way their animals are treated and cared for is inhumane. This has been going on for far too long and a bandaid is no.longer going to fix this store. Enough is enough.

(Pittsworth, 2017-03-16)

#113

This place is putrid and cruel to the animals. The state of this place is astonishing. Not to mention the cruel evil people that work there

It's about time this shop gets shut down!

(Spring Creek, 2017-03-16)

#134

I'm signing this petition because no animal deserves to be there and treated the way they are. Everytime I have gone there the animals always look so sad and almost beg to be let out of the cages they're in.

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

#137

Absolute dirty fish tanks. Same tanks you can barely see through them. And dead fish.

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

(Jundah, 2017-03-16)

#141

I worked there when I was 16 the condition for the animals were appalling back then. Rats and mice were bred in the tea room and they would drown the ones they wouldn't sell. The bottom of the bird cages use to be rotten out from so much bird poo. I made a complaint but nothing happened. I ended up leaving couldn't put up with it anymore.

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

#144

I am disgusted with this place, i went in there and was appalled, the stench, the layout, the poor animals cramped in cages. 10+ chickens cramped into one cage with no sunlight, no ventilation and no food. These poor animals are dying and it needs to be stopped now!

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

#147

This place should've been shut down years ago!!!!

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

#149

How*****ign dare humans treat their charges with such a blatant disrespect!! We have a ******* DUTY of care to the flora and fauna of our world, and shirking that duty is NOT acceptable for a sentient species!!

(Brisbane, 2017-03-16)

#150

The owners AND staff of this pet shop should be charged. This is unacceptable.

(Warwick, 2017-03-16)

(Hodgson Vale, 2017-03-16)

This cannot continue to happen, this is ridiculous. This place needs to be shut down immediately!

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

#164

I'm signing because no animals should be so mistreated and uncared for. This store should have been shut down years ago and I will never support the business until it is permanently closed.

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

#169

I have seen the state of the pet shop several times. Puppies eating their own poo, dead fish floating, Mice half dead, the lost goes on!

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

#171

They were good when i was 10... so 18 years ago. Now they r cruel and uncaring. Not to mention rude.

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

(Gold Coast, 2017-03-16)

#185

The welfare of animals is more important than a welfare of a failing business.

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

#189

This shop should've been shit down long ago for cruelty to animals

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

#195

I have been here and have always been concerned about the animals. Mainly the puppies/dogs that are kept in the small glass cages. The smell is discusting walking through this store.

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

#198

I am against cruelty to animals

(Toowoomba, 2017-03-16)

#199

This business needs to be shut down for the safety of domestic Pets. I feel sorry for any animal which has had to be stationed in this pet store. Consistently poor conditions, unsatisfactory care and comfort provided for animals. See the proof for yourself. How can someone get away with this. People who don't understand the value of all living things and treat them so disrespectivley DO NOT deserve to have animals let alone run a pet shop? Wow! Looking forward to seeing this facility close... goodbye Nicole.
