Petsmart Petsmart made a mistake or defrauded me and then would not help with the problem they created. Grand Junction, Colorado

I bought 3 beautifully colored young rats for pets and to save them from being fed to snakes. They were all sold as one gender (males). Later, when they got bigger, I found that one was a female -- and she was pregnant. She soon had eleven baby rats. I did not have accommodations for a mobilehome full of rats. I kept her separate from the other original rats, and as soon as her young quit nursing I returned to Petsmart with the eleven young rats. I neither asked for a refund nor any type of compensation for their guarenteed male rats. I only asked them to take the young rats off my hands. These were healthy, clean, and colored from white to champaigne & mixtures thereof. Petsmart refused to take the rats, even though they caused the problem. They are still selling rats ... just not the ones from my home. I had to euthanize the beautiful young rats with carbon-dioxide, although it was a quick death, it made me sick. Recentlly, one or more employees from this same Petsmart turned me in to Animal Control for animal abuse. I was wondering why they were looking so hard at my license plate. They said that I was abusing my dog by over-using her bark control collar. My dog, being a Catahula service-dog, is with me 24 hours per day; she goes everywhere with me. I only put her no-bark collar on when I go into Petsmart, mainly because she barks at the other dogs in there and the shock collar is the only way to stop her: I've tried all the lessor methods and they just don't work. Mesa County Animal Control (services) wanted to inspect my dog for injuries from the shock collar. These are the same people who keep dogs and cats in very small cages or kennels and then kills about 8,000 every year. I had to go to my vet and pay for an inspection of my dog's throat & neck to verify that there was not the slightest injury of any kind. I'll have to go to another vet later today for further proof against the claims made against me. A decent person would have talked to me first about their perception of cruelty.
