Once PETA gets an inch with you, they will be back again and again to take more.

But NOBODY has answered my question about the legal grounds that PETA has against Petco. Why is Petco giving into these hacks?? On what legal basis are they caving?
Anyone can show me pictures of abused animals -- those pictures did not come FROM PETCO STORES!!!
WHAT IS THE LEGAL BASIS THAT CAUSED PETCO TO GIVE IN TO PETA???? I HAVE YET TO SEE ANYTHING THAT SAYS PETCO WAS GUILTY OF WHAT -- ANIMAL CRUELTY??? HELLO??
PETA mounted a boycott and an public-awareness campaign about Petco's cruel breeding practices and since Petco didn't want to go out of business, they chose to stop selling large birds.
Of course it helped that PETA is a Petco shareholders and filed a complaint with the SEC that Petco was omitting crucial information to investors, including specific sales figures for its animal business. I guess when the stock started dropping and sales fell off, the corporate bigwigs decided they needed to do something to reverse the trend.
It isn't legal basis. It is harrassment. They hit them over and over with frivelous lawsuits, block them from the Pet Expos, distribute propaganda electronically and physically, etc. Finally, PetCo gives in because they just want to do business.
