Protest: Petco & Petsmart Profit, Animals Die

Join us in demanding that Petco and Petsmart stop selling animals and only promote adoption through rescues! Animals sold in Petco, Petsmart, and other pet stores come from horrifically cruel breeding mills and some species are even kidnapped from their habitats in the wild. Shockingly, the majority of animals bred and shipped to pet stores die before they even reach the store shelf. Animals are not merchandise and selling them is costing millions of them their lives. The time is now for Petco and Petsmart to stop selling animals! When: Saturday November 21st 2pm Where: Meet at 3020 Bridgepointe Pkwy, San Mateo, CA. We will walk to Petco together. After the Petco protest we will go together to protest Petsmart as well Accessibility: We will walk a short distance from the meeting location to the store where we will mostly be standing for about an hour. All materials will be provided!
