  I went to this petco on Tuesday (17th Feb) and while I was so so happy to see petco only working with rescues for cat & dog adoptions - the "exotic" animal area were another story. Mice, betta fish, gold fish, budgies, and many other species were all being sold as commodities, and many were sick and dying. Some of the gold fish were stuck to the tank filter and being eaten by their companions - it was heart breaking. A female mouse was very sick - my friend had gone there on Saturday and noted the same individual was sick at that time - so it had been several days without any medical intervention. The commercial breeding facilities that these animals come from are notorious for animal cruelty and neglect, and the very existence of commercial breeding of animals normalizes seeing them as commodities - as opposed to sentient beings with autonomy. Please please only work with rescues petco - there are truly so many animals that already need homes and care. As a society we must move away from viewing animals as objects we can breed, buy, and sell. Please lead the way in caring for animals with respect and empathy.

  Petco must STOP SELLING ANIMALS. Animals are suffering and dying becasue corportations like Petco want to make money on their lives. I just visited this Petco in El Cerrito and it was horrifying. I counted over 20 dead and dying gols fish, betta fish languishing in a tiny cups, and a mouse who is very sick and likely going to die. I asked them if I could please take her to a vet and they refused. Their apathy to her suffering is digusting. Stores like Petco that sell animals for profit do not care about animals. The only good thing about Petco is that they host cat adoptions with local rescue organizations on weekends. But why promote rescue and adoption for some animals, while supporting the cruel breeding and exploitation of other species like rodents, reptiles, fish, and birds?

  Many birds stop here to rest and eat. It's a nice place to walk around. There's a Boating club here which houses a small gym, shower and costs $100 /year to join. They use surf ski narrow boats. It's about 1 mile long so boaters do laps.
