PETA is the largest animal rights organization in the world and has more than 9 million members and supporters globally. PETA focuses it’s attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: in laboratories, in the food industry, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment business.  PETA also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of rodents, birds, and other animals who are often considered “pests” as well as cruelty to domesticated animals (peta.org). While watching this video posted by PETA on the cruel mistreatment of exotic animals in PETCO, you can tell how passionate they are to spread awareness and desperate to help these poor animals. Their authority for writing this to inform the public of the animal abuse in pet stores.

The primary audience PETA is trying to reach are animal lovers. But also pet owners, future pet owners, animal activists, parents, pet stores, and more. When an animal lovers sees these videos, they want to make a difference, change, and do anything to help. If PETA were ignoring something or someone, it would definitely be big pet store chains since these videos can ruin these companies selling rate.

PETA created this video because people need to know the suffering these poor animals go through on a daily basis and we need to help them any way we can. This abuse has been going on for a long time and it’s time to change, support, and help. The purpose of this video is to spread awareness and knowledge. Also to bring to light the secrets of these big pet store chains.

This video is an informational video and an educational video because it informs the public and educates us on this important matter. It shows us the harmful consequences of supporting big pet companies such as petco, pet smart, and animal mills.

The tone in the video is very serious and urgent. You can tell how badly this situation is and the importance of saving these poor animals.

This 100% helps me answer my question, on why are big pet companies still running and in denial of their animal abuse?  because all they care about is $$$.

I can verify this evidence is real because actual PETA workers went undercover as petco workers and recorded the horrors and animal abuse done in the back rooms. Also they’ve interviewed petco workers on why they ignore the animal needs and treat them horribly.
