To Hell and Back: The Cruel Pet Trade Exposed
For seven months, a PETA investigator went undercover at U.S. Global Exotics, Inc., (USGE) a massive international animal wholesale facility in Arlington, Texas. At the time, USGE was one of the nation's largest dealers of animals sold in pet stores all around the world.
PETA's investigation revealed that thousands of animals suffered horrible fates because they were denied the most basic necessities: food, water, space, air, humidity, veterinary care, and even a painless end to their misery. Continuous, cruel confinement to severely crowded and filthy enclosures compounded their suffering and resulted in the slow, painful deaths of countless animals.
Thanks to PETA's investigation, USGE's animal victims have been rescued, but other pet shops and dealers such as PETCO and PetSmart continue to exploit animals for money. Please take a look at the photos, watch the undercover video footage, and read more about the findings from this investigation, then help animals sold into the pet trade by calling on PetSmart and PETCO today to end the sale of animals at their stores.

Urge Coach House Gifts Stop Selling Frogs!
Last week, the Coach House Gifts store at the Sierra Vista Mall in Clovis, California, received a shipment of 40 frogs for sale in ''EcoAquariums.'' A shipping blunder left the frogs to sit for an extra day--the ice packs melted, and as a result, 37 out of the 40 frogs perished. Two teenage girls had to sift through the dead frogs in order to find the three survivors, and the dead frogs were flushed down the toilet. Such things are not uncommon: During a PETA undercover investigation of Wild Creations, the group's investigator was told that approximately 180 frogs froze to death when Wild Creations employees failed to include heat packs with the shipment. The investigator also documented that Wild Creations shipped up to 100 ''replacement frogs'' to customers on a daily basis.
PETA's investigation also revealed unsanitary living conditions, starvation, and gross mishandling of frogs at Wild Creations' warehouse. Frogs were left to languish in stagnant water that was murky with feces and molted skin. Many frogs were so desperate for food that they chewed on each other's legs, causing wounds, infections, and, eventually, loss of limbs. Live frogs were left on the floor to die or--mistaken for dead--tossed aside, including into the trash, by employees who had received no training. Please contact Coach House Gifts and demand that the company stop selling frogs!
