A couple of friends decided to go dumpster diving for the first time and they found a box of live fish
Some of the jars had no water left, keeping in mind the dumpster’s location one could just wonder who threw the fish out

After opening the dumpster, they quickly noticed that there was a box, containing dozens of jars filled withwater, and live fish in them. Most of the jars were filled with water at least halfway, but some of them were empty. Clearly outraged and disgusted, they decided to record and take the video online.

It’s uncertain if Petsmart threw the fish out, but one can wonder. Nor can anyone verify if the people who shared their experience with Petsmart are telling the truth. But it’s safe to say that it’s not looking great for Petsmart.
However, it’s not the first time that Petsmart’s name has been involved in controversy overanimalmistreatment. According toPETA(People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), Petsmart, among others, have been buying their animals from an unethical wholesale dealer. The supplier was raided and later charged with 14 different federal law violations. Not a spectacular record of treating animals right, to say the least.

Although over 10 millionanimalsare abused per year in the United States, there are countries that have strict animal protection laws in place too. Thesafestcountries for animals are considered to be Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and the United Kingdom. All of the aforementioned countries score high on the animal rights protectionindexas they ensure animal welfare.
A good example of such laws in action took place in the United Kingdom. A 29-year-old man was jailed for 9 months, as well as banned from ever keeping any animals again, after horrendously mistreating hisdog. Thankfully, the pet was saved, and the man was punished.

The official PetSmart reached out to the poster to find out more, but many netizens were unconvinced, saying that doing things like this is a corporate policy and perhaps even commonplace
