  • petsmart Canada is way better than this, do NOT compare every petsmart to petsmart USA, alot of them actually take every good care of the animals they sell.

  • Vyl4n,

    Petsmart is an American company. It's owned by PetSmart Incorporated. Their corporate office (headquarters) is located in Arizona.

    This video footage was taken inside a Petsmart supplier (not an actual store).

    All of the small animals (fish, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc.) sold in Petsmart and Petco (as well as many other pet stores) come from suppliers like the one featured in this video. They are run like factories, and are usually referred to as a "mill", like a puppy mill.

  • What if it were them Beinq treated Like this ;;

     Poor Little Fellas

  • why are we caring for animals when there are people out on the streets!

  • BeautyChick99,

    The importance of preventing unnecessary pain and suffering does not diminish because the being that suffers is not a member of our species. Pain is pain.

    I can't help but wondering, what exactly it is that you are doing for the homeless, and human beings in general, that compels you to continue to support the abuse, neglect and exploitation of animals?

  • what can i do to help except not purchase animals from pet stores (which i already don't do?

  • You can visit petsmartcruelty(dot)com for some great tips on how you can help. I suggest getting in touch with Petsmart (via email, letter and/or phone) and letting them know that you will not shop at their stores as long as they sell animals. you can go to PETA's website and print off or order Petsmart Cruelty leaflets and distribute them at your local Petsmart, or you could hold a protest (contact PETA for posters/supplies, they can get you in touch with local activists)

    thanks for your help!

  • omg...this is fucking SICK!Raping rabbits,killing o animals if loose,i hope these bastards never see daylight again

  • wat the fuk type shit is dis!!!

  • I'd never buy an animal from a pet store, unless it was a goldfish. Maybe.

    If you want any type of animal, from a bird to a lizard to a dog or cat, find a reputable private breeder. Meet them. See their animals in the home they were born in. Meet the parents. An animal is something you have for a long time, stop supporting the puppy/kitty-mills that supply big-name pet stores

    You aren't "rescuing" an animal; you are guaranteeing another will be bought to take its place. The cycle stops with u.

  • BearBoi69,

    You were absolutely right when you said that "the cycle stops with you".

    However, I don't agree with buying animals from breeders.

    There are millions of homeless animals waiting to be adopted in every country in the world.

    Why not adopt an animal from a shelter?

    You or anyone else who reads this can visit an amazing website called PetFinder(dot)org and conduct a search for the animal (birds, reptiles, etc.) you're looking for and find the nearest one (or two) available for adoption!

  • this is absolute cruelty i hate petsmart and i am never buying anything from them. arent they supposed to be nice to animals?? :(

  • Alright... I believe in animal rights.. though I'm not peta's biggest fan. I do agree with this vid and think the people running this place should be shutdown... I'm not a fan of over populating cages with hundreds of animals and treating them like product. I don't think we should outlaw "pets" but rather look to small breeders that specialize in 1 or 2 species of animal. They seem to care more and have more time to dedicate to the animal's well being....

  • omg i have a fancy russian dawrf hamster i bought from petsmart.......tomarrow will be our 2nd week together...now i am scared..

  • i went right upstairs and checked on my bunny/rabbit how can i help im only ** but i want 2 hamsters i get rabbit food fro some where else

  • thanks for wanting to help!

    you can get some great tips on how to help at petsmartcruelty(dot)com (it's posted in the sidebar).

    have you ever heard of petfinder?

    they're a great organization, they help homeless animals in shelters find loving homes.

    check out their website (petfinder(dot)org)! there you can search for a hamster (or 2) or any other animal who is waiting for a home at your local animal shelter.

  • omigod!!!!!!! STOP! STOP PLEASE!

  • this does not surprise me at all...petco is even worse...i could only stand working there for 2 weeks before i wanted to choke the staff for the shitty care they gave ALL the animals

  • That is horrible! People have no respect for life!!!

  • wow and this just adds to many reasons why i dont go to petsmart... RIP poor animals.

  • wtf petsmart doesant give a fuck man their just in it cause thats their income were they get the animals shut those fuckers down that stomp poor hampsters and kill all those incent animals

  • what stupid motherfucker do this do animals? How the fuck do they sleep at night. Holy shit.

    I just want to break in thoese places and give a lesson to those fuckers who actualy do that to animals. holy crap.

    This is so gross, so so gross.

    fuck.

  • this is disgusting. All for human's cruel entertainment. I'm going to be sick. I can't believe people can do this.

  • everyone watching this video look at the description!!

  • My stomache is churning.

  • that is terible

  • Stop Rainbow Exotics, stop PetSmart, and all the other bastards causing these atrocities to take place. BOYCOTT PET STORES.

  • R.I.P. Hamsters that died from the dicks at petsmart

  • This is just sick... I got my old hamster at pet smart. no wonder he was so terrified of me...

  • I didnt even watch it for I knew I would be haunted by it. We have to do something FUCK Rainbow shitheads! D:<

  • could only watch first 40 secs

  • omfg!! he uses clorox wipes in surgery!! wtf!! that could hurt the bunny

  • i'm going to sue

  • sick. this is just SICK!!!! oh my goooood... I, I don't know what to say anymore.. scary.. well..have the police arrested those guys?? if not, they are just STUPID!!

  • omg!! he used a cleaning cloth!! on the bunny!!! aaaaaaaahhhhhhh

  • Is it because we don't have enough proof so we can't sue them? Geez, this is totally inhuman and cruel. The unorthodox operation that ignorant employee gave that poor rabbit probably killed him.:( And isn't tt totally insane to force-breed the rabbits. The babies of the rabbits my have some genetic flaws and then left to die by the cruel employees and then thrown away.

    Hopefully,fellow youtubers won't be offended by my comment.

  • o my god a am sad and pissed

  • We've got to sue them NOW! Before more animals get treated like this! :'(

  • this is fuckig disgusting from now on i refuse to support petsmar petco or any other corperate petstore for the rest of my life where i live we have a very nice local one where the animals are handeld cleanly humanly and in the niceest manner possible this information has really opened my eyes to the horrors that people support everyay and dont even realize it WE MUST STOP RAINBOW EXOTICS

  • I dont get it, isnt this animal cruelty? Isnt this like illegal?

  • And yet, you PETArds don't lift a finger to help starving children in Africa, or feed homeless people in your communities. Having said that, I shy away from buying pets of any kind from Petsmart or Petco.

  • what makes you think that the compassion and care PETA supporters have for animals, stops there?

    it's extremely ignorant and narrow to say something like that.

    PETA has a program where you can donate your old furs (after having a change of heart) or UGG boots and they give them out to homeless people living in the colder regions of the US.

    PETA feels that the only people who have an excuse to wear fur are the homeless.

  • my bff showed me this vid and we dont go there. that is so mean i have hamsters and have had each of the anmals in that vid and that mack me sad :-(

  • You know i worked at Petsmart for about half a year. They would have more animals in the sick room then actually out on the floor. Banfield is horrible and don't know what they are doing. Even the other employees i saw just dont give a shit about the animals. It's sad that people so ignorant about animals work in the pet stores that you buy from.

  • why cant we just sue them?!?!!?!?!?!!?!?!

  • they force mate!?

  • this is discusting. I feel sick knowing that somewhere that sells live animals as loved pets would do something like this... or would be able to tolerate the fact that they knew what was happening to them animals to bring them to their stores... How anyone could work there is beyond me... poor things. I'm glad that there are no horror stories that I know of about the pet store which I will be buying my gerbils at soon. I have visited the store many many times and all the animals appear healthy

  • OMG i am crying this is so cruel... i can't believe it... i have 2 animals from petsmart! i feel so bad for animals

  • im crying right now :(

  • This is about as bad as fur farms or bad chicken farms. animals should be respected, and not treated as garbage after they are "useless". People like this are discusting.

  • animal neglect is actually very typical of petco and petsmart, but its not just the cute/furry animals that are suffering, i went into one of their stores today and saw that the reptiles and their enclosures were in unacceptable conditions, the reptiles had no heat source whatsoever "which is crucial for there survival" cages were at 65 degrees, which is way below the corrects temps, cages were full of feces, no clean water, absolutely unacceptable.

  • i just got a budgie from petsmart 3 wks. ago and now I feel terrible. Why do people do this don't they have hearts??

  • poor, innocent,and cute animals should'nt be treated like that!!!!

  • i am really sad about that but y would u want to get them off the shelves then werer else am i supsose to get my pets from????

  • ok now ill never buy anything at petsmart again!

  • petsmart is very bad and i have thinking that petsmarts is very go before i saw the video

  • i never thought this could be so bad! petsmart i will sue you! if i was old enough to and if i had a lawyer. im only nine. my birthday is jan. 28. i hate them so bad! did you know KFC torchers chickens worse than petsmart!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gasp!

  • Omg I am crying right now how could people do this to innocent little critters.

  • complain!!! i complained!!!!!!!!

    and im sendin it to everyone!!!!!!

  • this is sick as fuck........ it's just awful..

  • this is digusting and inhumane.How can these people live with them selves?

  • wtf thats so cruel

  • Before I thought that Petsmart wasnt included in this but i knew other stores were but ive always had nice help and good quality and good looking pets there, but now that iv seen this where are you supossed to get pets????

  • look for a reputable rescue shelter. They will have dogs, cats, birds, other small animals and even the tiny ones such as hamsters sometimes, and that way you know your'e giving an animal that's had a really bad start a new chance and a loving home.

  • this is so cruel,some people have no respect for life.They will be judged one day,I hope with little pity.shame on these horrible,heartless people.

  • greed always overtakes emotion.put the top executives in prison,give their finaces to the humane society then boycott the corporation all together.the guy who knows the future text ,dana.

  • oh my gosh.

    that is so freaking mean.

    like really, i wish i could lock those people in a small closet, and give them dirty water & no food.

    i'm sure they wouldn't like it.

    that's just DISGUSTING.

  • My god.

    I Never Knew about THIS!

    I Knew the People at petsmart (who are "qualified" to handle, and give information about certain pets know NOTHING about it)

    Always Handled them Wrong, and Gave wrong information on how to care for them.

    that's the reason i've never bought animals from them.

    Now i Know it's Much Worse.

    I'll Pass this video on.

  • her firend goes to school with me so she told me about it nd i agaist this stuff full on! THNKS FOR TELLING ME!

  • ...I can't watch any more...I'm an animal rights activist and while I know how bad things are it still makes me cry every time I see something like this. I wish that the people who treat animals like that-or any other living thing for that matter- would receive the same treatment they put those poor animals through.

  • Can someone please explain to me what is happening besides the hamster getting stepped on, I am too disgusted to watch this video even thinking about the horrors. I remember one time I went to petsmart and there was a dieing lizard getting its stomach eaten out by 2 others while it was still alive :(

  • omg I didn't know I am never buying from them again

  • well thats the last time i buy something from petsmart

  • omg this is just sickening. im never shopping at petsmart again. im surprised they havent been reported to animal cruelty.

  • thats really horrible.

  • damit!! well thats the last time i shop at petsmart.

  • if all the youtube watchers see this, petsmart will be able to go out of business, knowing all the meanie stuffs they do to animals. this is animal cruelty people. do all the petstores do this?!

    THIS IS MEAN POO

  • I simply can believe this.... and to think I was actually considering to buy a chinchilla from them.... I'm so happy I saw this before I did.

  • Im never shopping at petsmart... thats sick and wrong im against animal cruelty and im going vegetarian too. thats just sickening

  • Not surprising. Thanks for sharing.

  • dont fucking use clorox!!! thats poison you fucking retarded asshole!!!

  • Last time I'll ever shop at Petsmart.  This is disgusting. We're supposed to be civilized. Poor helpless creatures.

  • Makes me SO glad I decided to adopt the guinea pigs I'm gonna get soon at the small inconvenience of having to travel a bit to get them instead of just going across the street to this horrible place. >=(

  • Oh gods.... I couldn't finish this video the stuff they're doing is so horrible...

  • OMG! i was thinking about buying a guinea pig or 2 from Petsmart...i am never buying an animal from there! omg those poor things...people should be shot.

  • fuck petsmart and petco

  • it made me cry

  • Screw petsmart...

  • these people are heartless i wish the things they did to those poor animals was don e to them and then lets see how the like it

  • I hope someone kicks the holy crap outta petsmart how could you just stand on a hamster like that?!

  • That video made me sick to my stomach and gave me nightmares.I can't believe some people don't have a heart.I would not be surprised if Petco does it,too.Not to long ago a bought some feeder rats for my ball python and a few days later my son's snake through them up.A nother few days later the snake was dead.That could explain why.Just look at how they keep those animals.I hope and pray to God that those people will pay for it.Thank you for making this video and letting us know whats going on.

  • =(Why he kill hamster =( at end there were fighting for water.Does petco does this too?Maybe i mean there are thousands of there stores the only way to get a bunch of animals in stock is by this way no?

  • I... I just cant watch it. All this suffering and cruelty... Its horrible.

  • i hate pets mark it i would tell my friend josh he would be so mad he will got to the place take the animals out of the store and kill everybody im serious he a true animal love

  • I just put an application to PetKILL I mean PETSMART and I am thinking about reconsidering.

    Extensive Background checks need to be done for cruelty to animals and the SPCA or whoever needs to be notified. Animals are not guilty but innocent

  • omg thats awful

  • that so disgusting and cruel! i feel bad for that hamster. T_T

  • PetSmart is sick. Those people need help along with the animals.

  • When I seen the hamster crushed like that I cried.. That's really sad man.. Where is this company and I'll fucken blow there heads off with a shotgun!!!

  • I wass so close to calling the spca or something. then i dicided to kill them all first

  • Omg..this is disgusting! I cried so hard...I had to stop watching after she was doing that stuff to the rabbit (sorry can't spell right now). But seriously..I refuse to go to petsmart ever again.

  • omg why would someone do something so cruel to something do inosent just because they cant speak or and tell us whats hurting the animals! i believe everything is created = so if we have the right 2 speak so should the animals! God made animals so we would have creatures to play with and ENJOY!!! why would u kill something so cute and even if u dont kill it, those people r still treating those animals like waste.such crude actions should be realized and those people should be punished!

  • OMG...

    The sick bastards who work at Petsmart should be SHOT. I cant believe how badly they treat animals!!! Did you hear the way that Cockatoo(sp?) SHRIEKED when its nails were being cut? And that poor female bunny. Being forced to breed with a male you have NO intrest in. Petsmart should be run out of buisness, and anyone who disagrees is stupid beyond BELIEF.

    STOP THE CRUELTY, STOP PETSMART & RAINBOW EXOTICS NOW!

  • omg

  • omg this is so messed up we need to start a patition also evrybody help spred the vid if you have any ideas on the patition contact me

  • so sad!

  • This is just as sick as the china incident with the dogs and the way they treated them. Its wrong and horrifing (sorry cant spell, too tired). I cant see how someone can sit there and purposly torture these animals for alittle pay. They obviously have no heart. I've never actually wanted to cause someone physical harm until now.

  • For those of you who have Facebook.

  • how do i join;D SCREW THESE F*****G PPL!!!

  • I went to Wal-Mart a year ago and saw dead fish that were being eaten by the other fish(they got rid of the fish in Wal-Mart).In Florida at a surf shop I saw a wire cage filled with all different sizes of hermit crabs.Ones that were big as a fist and ones that were as big as a thimble. I went to PetLand years ago and saw dead hermit crabs with no humidity. I went to PetSmart and saw three female gerbils with matted fur,sad eyes and were very inactive,in the crab cage there was no humidity.

  • omg i hate petsmart now. why didn't the other people working there do anything! Ew this makes me disgusted my sad at the same time.PETA or whatever that is should actually go inspect the pet stores. Poor bunnies :(

  • who the hell put water in a bucket with guinue pigs in it so bad

  • DISGUSTING.... i am absolutely disgusted. i didnt knew ppl could be so cruel to beings that cant defend their selves. this petsmart only deserves to burn in hell with all the mother fucking employees that treat animals that way, i mean, now i can finally see a good reason to accept death penalty in this cases.

  • I burst into tears when I saw the guinea pigs.I love all animals including the little piggies, and it almost made me throw up seeing this. I have never bought animals from there, and never ever will.

  • I will never ever, ever shop at petsmart or buy animals at petsmart ever again this is just down right wrong and anyone who disagrees is a sick sick sick piece of SHIT that should be treated like this themselves. Jail them all petsmart is just another one of those company's that should have posters and crap put all over it they should not be in the phone book and should not exist. It is one thing to realize what is happening to these animals its another to actually take the next step and boycott

  • OMG i cried the hole time... the poor animals....

  • i don't buy animals from pet stores anyways! i just buy the merchandise, but thats bad to cuz thats is supporting the shippment of the poor animals probably:(

  • Where do you get your animals?

  • gross!

  • FUck u all who doing this, i hope u die

  • FUCK YOU PEOPLE!!!! i normally don't say that but i am ASHAMED. i just bought a guinea pig a fewdays ago at petco, and I bet thats the same deal. she bites probably cuz she was starved to death. this is fucked up!! no wonder why birds just fall off of stick at petsmart!! cant beleaive this shit. im an nimal luver. i will not take this bull crap. Im gunna talk to those petsmart shittin assholes! god damn!

  • This video was really upsetting, but instead of everyone just saying "fuck petsmart" and "I'll never shop at petsmart again" on HERE, you should go to PetSmart's website and tell them how disgusted you are. Change will only happen when they realize that this is not helping their business.

  • 4:00 you can hear soulja boy song WTF?? you see wath kind of person is taking care of the animals.

    And you know what?? every video that has a soulja boy song Has over 1,000,000 views and this dont. I hate ignorants (Not blaming music or soulja boy)

That's why all my pets come from the ASPCA. My rotweiler sheyane was a victim ofabuse and my other puppy inutaro was left to die. My usataro was just abandoned in a forest. My snake was in a small land plot that had all it's trees cut down. ever since then i regularly take in lost animals and find their owners after taking care of them

    Those poor animals.

    All I can think is how much I HATE republican greed.

    These places need to be stopped.

  • those poor poor ferrets FUCK PET SMART GO TO HELL WTF IS WITH THEM

  • I believe the PETA should attempt to shut down the rainbow comercial breeding business and petition that Petsmart look into local breeders (smaller home breeders) to fuel their stores for animal stock.

    This is horrifying.

  • this is so sad i think it is better to buy pets from a shelter or something-that video was disturbing i can't believe it..poor animals

  • The neutering scene made me so nauseated - Clorox wipes? Poor things, all of them.  This is so wrong.

  • this is rediculusss! i dont no how to spell that but it isss!!!!!

    how can i helppp????

    im only 15 but i love animals and i can't stand to watch this....

  • Clorox on a rabbits testicles? That can cause infections! :(

  • thats makes me want to cry i love animals how could those people do that it isnt right i agree they should be put off the pet smart shelves when that hamster got stepped on i was like oh my god what did he do that for its just horrifying and sickening

  • thats just horribale i cant belive i got my special guinea pig at pet smart this just sickend me if it was me i would protest against this

  • this sickens me....

  • i hate how people say "help" but i mean what the hell are we supposed to do. we know we can help but they don't tell us how. next time i go into petsmart im wearing something that says "petsmart kills, buy from shelters" because most shelters do sell rabbits and ferrets and sometimes birds. please go there and purchase your pets.
