Another Really Upsetting Day

[MarianaL87]

I've just gotten back from my local lizard store where i volunteer at...I come home ashamed of being human once again. Ignorance really knows no boundaries.
A customer had brought back a euromastyx that he had bought from the pet store in HORRIBLE conditions. It was skin and bone, totally deflated looking. It barley moved. All it really could move was its eyes - open and shut at times. He had to be put down today, there was no way anything or anyone could make it back from such disgraceful conditions. I cant imagine why the poor little animal was allowed to get to such an emaciated state before being handed over. I just dont understand how much of a ***** you have to be to not notice your pet waste away and wait to the very last possible second to bring him to someone to take care of. People should be thrown in jail for such things like this. Im ashamed for this miserable fool. I can only hope the owner of the store doesnt sell to him anymore.

Im done my rant, thx.

That upsets me! I rescued my iguana. She was fed once a week to keep her small, can you imagine!! My vet guessed the age to be 4-5 years old at the time. We say her birthday is the day she came to live with us, May 10, 2003 - that makes her 10 years old (approximately).
Too bad the lizzard that was turned in was in such bad condition. Sad when we can't save them all.
