Self control pushed to it's limit today

That's just too much.
I'd report it to the proper facilities right now, and see if they won't go and check up in the next couple of days. That kind of situation can't be something that 'just happened'. It screams long term neglect!
Glad you made a scene about it. Somebody had to!

that's horrible!!!! what camp was it????

I am so glad you brought this one back up Shanley.

Samantha called home on Monday to tell us she forgot her bathing suit, and swimming was in an hour, so I grabbed up my camera, and went to the camp. (and her bathing suit too)

While I waited in the reception hall, I casually strolled over to the boa tank, cam in hand (One flash and they would have made me stop, so I was "covert" about it.)

The cage was spotless, fresh water and everything!


So I guess that my tantrum was taken seriously

Glad to hear it! Nice job Wayne! I'd still take the care sheet in and let them know if they grow tired of caring for it properly you could find it a great home. Give them an out... you never know.

No Shanley it's "Hidden Vally 4H camp" in Watkins Glenn, NY

The snake is the private pet of one of the counselors, she brings it to camp every summer for the kids, to teach them that snakes are cool, and not to kill them.

I will talk to Lisa when I pick up Sammy friday.

Way to go Wayne!!! I do the same things when I see stuff like that. I am glad to know there are other "extremists" like me. I have NO tolerance for ignorance or laziness. I am a bit orf a hard A$$. But in a loving way...

Now if only that would work for all the Petcos!

Well here I sit still stewing, smoke rolling out of my ears.

I went to the pet store for crickets, and saw a baby Savannah dying in a tank from improper care.

When I offered to help, she got all arrogant with me.

Dropped a call to SPCA officer, and guess what?

Not the first time they got a call about this place

Gotta go give Chomper some attention to get my mind off it for a while, it won't be until tomorrow when Scott can get over there and kick some butt!

They just sold me my last bag of bugs from there

Don't care if I have to go another 8 miles away, I cannot support a store that kills animals, especially when they turn down help.

wow wayne that sucks but you made the right choice by making that call
