Petition for
Exploited San Francisco Animals - Animals sold for food
in San Francisco's live animal markets, frogs,
turtles, fish, chickens, and birds are often illegally poached from
the wild, forced to live in obscenely filthy conditions, and left
to die without food or water. Starvation, dehydration, suffocation,
and mutilation of animals are violations of the city's anti-cruelty
laws and the San Francisco Health and Safety Code. To

Have
a Heart, PETsMART, Stop Live Animal Sales - This petition for
PETsMART to stop selling live animals is in response to the death
of yet another recently purchased pet and is not a call for a boycott,
but a promise of support if this ethical policy is adopted.
Stop
the Sale of Puppies and Kittens in Pet Stores - Puppy mills
are part of a sick trade that supply pet stores and research laboratories
with a steady stream of animals. The awful truth is that thousands
of dogs are dying and suffer horrible forms of abuse including starvation,
cannibalism and lives spent in extreme physical and psychological
distress. For more petitions to
