Why would you leave something small enough to steal and worth thousands of pounds overnight in a canvas-covered truck? Seems pretty easy to break in to.

I'd imagine because insurance will cover it and you get a cut.

Those biscuits are so good but after eating more than 2 you can tell there's a lot of artificial flavoring and you get sick of it.

police break up 'domestic dispute' between man and pet parrot

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-domestic-man-parrot-1.3548543

"They heard him yelling and saying, 'I hope you die,' and so on and so forth," Bates said. "So we attended and we located the male of the household alone in the house screaming at his pet parrot who apparently was 'beaking off' at him, in his words."

For the first time I get to say I actually know someone, I bought two corn snakes from him and volunteer at that pet store occasionally.

How do you volunteer at a pet store? Do you mean you hang around and play with the animals, or are you ringing people up and stocking shelves without getting paid?

I think it's a fairly common thing. I know a couple people who do this.

:confused: I worked at a pet store for a couple of years and we never had volunteers, and I never heard of it happening anywhere.

Now at the local animal shelter, sure thing. But the pet store was a pretty typical retail business with a revolving cast of employees.

A lot of pet stores double as shelters for strays, or as the adoption outreach partner to a normal shelter.

It's entirely possible this is a regional thing.

Zany Zoo was more than a pet store, they had lots of weird animals you could pet, and brought in schools for field trips, that sort of stuff. I could see them getting volunteers, especially since the owner evidently tips in monkeys.

I don't think I've seen a pet store that actually sold pets in some years. They sell pet supplies now, and the actual animals are bought from breeders and/or shelters.

Chains, as in brands seem to have gone that way, but the no name on the corner, somehow still surviving pet stores still sell animals.

Most pet stores I've been to sell things like fish, lizards and rodents. They also might host an adoption event for cats and dogs.

They still survive by either being more exotic and/or shadier than the chain stores in their animal selection. I've never seen one outside tv actually selling monkeys though.

My dad bought a monkey from the back of a comic book when he was a kid, I think it was actually delivered to his house by the postman. Things went about as well as you'd think they would :smith:

I'll have to ask him for more details next time I see him, but the gist of it is he saved up his allowance and sent it in without my grandparents knowing, thinking he'd get a little monkey buddy. Instead, he got a terrified, sick, half-starved animal that he had no idea how to take care of or even feed, and that had no interest in making friends with him or anyone else. About the only thing it liked doing was throwing it's poo poo around. I think they ended up donating it to a zoo or something after a couple weeks, but I could easily see my grandmother just letting it loose on the streets. Any which way, poor monkey.

edit: It was probably an ad something like this:
