[QUOTE="RandomRobot, post: 2098087, member: 714456"] I've seen videos of how some petsmarts treat their animals... I didn't really believe it but I went to a PetSmart today and asked if I could hold a Fancy Rat.. The employee picked her up by the tail. I was a little shocked but just held the rat gently and felt very bad for her. I am picking her up tomorrow to take home as a pet. It doesn't matter that I am paying for it, I just want that rat (who had very good temperment) and don't think she should be treated like that. I also saw him pick up another rat by the tail as well. Is this "right" ? Does this hurt them? The rats looked like they struggled for something to hold onto while he whipped them out of the cage by the tail... :( He said he played with this rat a lot and it was very nice. [/QUOTE]
