This is sad. I hate to hear about pets being mistreated.

Petco Animal Supplies Inc. may not sell dogs in San Francisco, but the city is charging the No. 2 U.S. pet supply store with stocking plenty of other dead, diseased and disfigured animals, ranging from a moldy turtle to a toad that had been boiled to death in its own cage.

Laywers from Petco countered that San Fransisco is bringing the suit for political reasons. "Although it is widely known in some circles, it isn't widely known to San Fransiscans, that if you turn up the heat slowly, you can boil a toad to death, without it even realizing it," the lawyer said. "We have boiled the toad as a reminder to those that support large and growing governments, how dangerous that support really is. Hopefully, someone out there will realize the danger. Meanwhile, we fully understand why the San Fransisco government would be trying to suppress this knowledge, and prosecuting anyone who would disseminate it by example." Officials in government had no comment.

Boiled toad? Does Petco also sell eye of newt and wing of bat? Has the CEO of Petco been seen swinging a dead cat by its tail over a stump at midnight during a full moon? If not, maybe Petco should consider these acitivities. In San Francisco, engaging in witchcraft is probably encouraged in the name of "diversity."
