Where are the small animals in Petsmart?
Reluctantly, I needed something for my dog at Petsmart that I could not get elsewhere and I needed it quickly.
Happily, I noticed that they are not currently selling most small animals. They did still have hamsters :(
Does anyone know what is going on?

They had small animals before.
They have a sign in the bottom two rows of the pet area that say "Reserved". I have seen these signs used for the birds too.

The Petsmart by me still has all sorts of small animals and now even promoting them for Easter. Sigh

Unfortunately they're still here, too. Not as many (seem to have more birds, oddly), but hamsters, chinchillas, gerbils and pigs. All there.
Because if you buy an animal from a pet store then you give the pet store more money to put more animals in poor conditions. Also invariably these animals will be sick, and so it detracts financial resources from animals in shelters and rescue.
edit: not applying this to when it is an animal cruelty seizure and therefore a rescue effort, rather than keeping the cycle going.
And I imagine it sends a poor or mixed message when rescue or animal lovers are patronizing places that abuse animals.
