That brought tears to my eyes :cry: ..... those are some of the worst conditions I have ever seen in a store! Was the iguana even alive?
Another option you might try is getting this out to the "public". Contact local tv stations, etc. and see what they might do. You know how they sometimes have news sections who watch for underhanded business and that sort of thing. Be prepared with caresheets and websites, etc on the proper care of each animal compared to what was happening. Provide info on what the store could easily do to change and rectify, explain the issues with the regulations and restrictions, provide your conversations with The local SPCA and Humane Society and their response, and the history of the store and any contact you've had with them,etc. Generate public awareness as legally as you can. Post flyers (if allowed) around the area, place on cars, anywhere you can. Many times people will be offended (as they should be) with anyone who is mistreating animals, even if they don't care for or like the animal themselves. They are living creatures who still deserve a basic "quality" of life.
I hope for all of the critters sake, you are able to generate some attention to this place.
ps... I am posting a link to this on other sites I go too in the hopes that others may have ideas and suggestions for you!!
