Where to report a company in the US selling animals for neglectful practices?
As the title says. Went to a general store w/ friends on a retreat as a gag and noticed the animals they were selling were generally neglected. Puppies were isolated to their own rooms with bright lights, nothing to keep them active, and no chance to play together (they weren’t vaccinated either, according to the employee we were able to talk to about it. The ferret they had was entirely alone, also given nothing in their enclosure (if you can call a 2X2ft cage an enclosure), and was listed as descented (I think the practice is legal where I’m at but it’s just adding to my case). A number of the goldfish they were selling also looked like they had fucked up swimbladders and were all placed together in one big tank, but I know a lot less about fish than some of the other animals(they also had barren tanks).
I don’t know if what I saw there was actually illegal or if it was just that all the animals there looked unkept for and depressed as fuck, but I want to make sure that the animals are actually being cared for properly or placed in spaces where they will be cared for, and don’t know where I’d report the business to in order so that they actually do get treated properly.
