As you may recall, video footage obtained in a PETA undercover investigation (http://www2.peta.org/site/R?i=mdzxcw3IQrxp38oYE6EaHw..)
earlier this year revealed disturbing living and dying conditions for
hamsters and other animals at Sun Pet Ltd., a wholesale animal dealer
that supplies animals to PETCO and PetSmart stores.
PETA is now able to release to the public more graphic footage and photos (http://www2.peta.org/site/R?i=a07SvgjTgBjx862LmZ2Kmw..) from this undercover investigation. View the never-before-seen photos and video footage (http://www2.peta.org/site/R?i=BRz5v7X49Jl8oWvGRYJF7Q..) from the investigation now.
Animals
at Sun Pet were confined to dark, extremely crowded containers that
were like tombs. They were forced to eat, sleep, urinate, and defecate
all in the same cramped space. PETA's investigator also recorded the violent killing and abusive handling (http://www2.peta.org/site/R?i=g101XmlQsnycQ4uuLHqRKg..)
of hundreds of animals. While training PETA's investigator, Sun Pet's
supervisor said of mice, "You could throw them against the wall and
they'll stand back up again and keep on running."
Shockingly,
Paul L. Howard Jr., the district attorney of Fulton County, Ga., has
yet to file cruelty-to-animals charges against anyone in the case,
including the worker who put live hamsters in a bag and bashed the bag against a table (http://www2.peta.org/site/R?i=oWQVtG2l0Rtp3QO03pdxfA..) in an attempt to kill the animals inside—which left at least one animal panting and suffering for several minutes. Despite the disturbing video footage (http://www2.peta.org/site/R?i=Y0bv7n_9zF_Hu2SyJpxvcA..)
captured at Sun Pet, PETA has received information indicating that
Howard has instructed his office to halt its investigation of animal
suffering at the facility.
Please view the horrific video footage and just-released photos from the investigation and then tell Howard to investigate (http://www2.peta.org/site/R?i=X28KqI_d-40eQ-P0pgxg3Q..)
and file suitable cruelty-to-animals charges against the worker caught
bashing hamsters against a table and all others responsible for the
suffering of animals at Sun Pet. Ask Howard what constitutes
cruelty to animals if not bagging them up, bashing them against a
table, and then leaving them to suffer and die slowly from the trauma
and injuries.
Thank you for your compassion and continued action for the pet trade's animal victims.
Sincerely,
