Well, my personal choice is that I will not frequent a Petsmart out of
choice again. The issue is still on UK news. One of the branches
mentioned in the BBC report is in my local news area. There was a
report on that saying the chief exec. of Petsmart has apologised. It
would be nice to think it's all genuine, but one wonders about that
and the PR setups of big organisations.
