i could can't belive this. i went to the petland on northern blvd to buy frozen food and saw this, check it out. they had this 2+ foot nurse shark in a 55 gallon.

i was so pissed i walked out. how could you put a shark in such a small tank. and we all know that anyone with a tank big enough for it probably goes to a much better store to buy their livestock

They might as well just kill it now. Whoever ordered that shark is an a$$

Rich...totally agree...... I would have been POd too! Some fish just shouldn't be for sale.

 

[nanoreefer22]

Wow thats disgusting...

Jenny how ya been? Long time no see .

 

[alrha]

who in their right mind would try to keep a nurse shark in a tank that size????

 

[jhale]

hey Jennie,

I was going to pm you today to see what's up.

I can't believe that pet store, that is really tragic and dsigusting, Rich is right


think we need an MR intervention?

 

[inline6]

Yeah, I saw that awhile ago.
Didn't want to upset anyone by posting it.
It has been there for quite some time

I just called. Nick is the manager. He's not in at the moment. I told the guy who answered that there's a major problem with keeping a 2'+ shark in a 55. He asked if I've seen it. I told him I saw the pic and he said it's not a 55. I told him the pic is evidence that the tank is too small for that shark regardless of whether or not the tank was a 55 or a 220. He laughed and said call back and talk to Nick. Not only are their actions irresponsible, but so are their behaviours to customers.

Thanks for the info Jennifer. And nice to 'meet' you.

It maybe a 75gal?

Russ thats about the answer that I would expect from a worker there. It's not their responsibility and with the money they get paid, I'm sure they don't give a $hit

 

[nanoreefer22]

Theres no one that we could report this too? Like an Animal Creulty agency or something to that effect?

I dont care if its a 55, 75 90 220 or 500. A shark needs so much more space. DISGUSTING!!!

Why don't we just write a friendly email or call to Mr. Petland himself. He's on TV all the time associating his stores with the comfort of pets. :dead1:
I'll be more than glad to sign some sort of petition or heck, I'll write it when I get home.

think about it more, that would just kill the animals you love, and the owners would get their money.

i know your heart was in the right place though

well we can precede it with a shark kidnapping team that can drop in from the air vents.

naturally, their mail would have to be forwarded, in which case we can intercept the mail, deposit the check from the insurance and donate it to an animal friendly cause (or use it to compensate all our operatives).

why am i starting to feel like a terrorist organization when all i am trying to do is help a poor little shark? :scratchch

perhaps i've been watching too much "24" :banghead:

Hey, what about contacting the New York Aquarium. I spoke to a marine biologist over the summer and said they will help stranded animals. I guess we cant say this shark is stranded persay, but that small a$$ tank is no where near ample space. I have her number somewhere in my room, and will be calling her regardless.
