Bunnies Drowned at Petland - Warning: Disturbing Image! August 5, 2009

Drowned2b.jpg


This image was taken in the back room of a Petland store in Akron, Ohio, and posted on Facebook by Elizabeth Carlisle. She can be seen grinning as she holds two dead, soaking-wet rabbits by the scruff of the neck—rabbits she just drowned while working at Petland.

When asked by a Facebook friend if she drowned the rabbits, she replied "[T]he manager took the pic for me. [S]he reminded me that there were people outside as [I] was swearing at them to just hurry up and die but then she was so kind as to take this picture." She has also stated that rabbits in the store were allowed to "attack and eat each other." The bunnies suffered from "deep wounds all over," "an eye missing," what Petland staff "suspected was a broken jaw," and paralysis from the waist down.

The store has closed, following our complaint, but PETA investigations have revealed time and time again that companies that breed and sell animals are concerned about profits, not animals' well-being.

Please take a moment to send Petland a message, asking the company to end all rabbit sales immediately, by clicking here!

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH HER?!?!?!?!? HOW COULD SHE DO THAT?!?!?

People like this girl, need to die.

And all petstores should seriously just stop selling animals now.

I am so furious right now!

I think its off to the Shakopee, Minnesota PetLand today!

This is disgusting! Did she ever receive any sort of punishment?

I want to cry. How are people so cruel!

The real question is how could Petland allow the living conditions to go on where the rabbits were allowed to mutilate each other? No wonder they closed—but how many other Petland stores nationwide have the same conditions?

Has any one been contacted for animal cruelty charges? That person and Petland should face criminal charges! Who will she drown next, is what I say..

What a bag of scum. She looks overjoyed at the fact that she just drowned to innocent animals. They connection between people who feel no sympathy for animal is EXTREMLY connected to those who are murderers. Not only is she a piece of sh*t shes stupid, who posts this sort of evidence on facebook?

This right here is the reason why sometimes I prefer animals over people. I've never even heard of Petland anyway, must not be THAT popular. Stupid bitch..

Here's what someone from HER OWN TOWN said:

"someone should drown HER and put it on Facebook."

That's saying something.

that is messed up.
makes me wonder if she'd do that to people, too.
o.o

Posted by: Taylor at August 5, 2009 5:26 PM
                                                               

Wow, that girl really makes me sick!

Posted by: Signe at August 5, 2009 5:38 PM
                                                               

Seriously, what the fuck are wrong with these people. I highly doubt they would enjoy that being done to them so I don't know what they think gives them the right to do this. This makes me so angry how people just do these things without thinking about if they would enjoy it.

This is sooo sad! What a horrible, sick person. this needs to be stopped and she needs to be punished!!!

Posted by: Britt at August 5, 2009 6:23 PM
                                                               

Wooow I cant believe people actually let her do that!
That is sooo sick minded

How could she even do that?! People are so cruel these days

This woman is smiling? What becasue she is at par with a serial killer? What a disgrace to man kind. Please lightening bolt strike her down!!!! Petland too!

The Petland in my area closed down recently because of their use of puppy mills, but this is disturbing. People who do that should rot in jail.

Posted by: at August 5, 2009 9:22 PM
                                                               

WHY WOULD SOMEONE EVER DO THIS TO AN ANIMAL!?!?!?!?! I HOPE SHE GOT PUNISHED FOR WHAT SHE DID AND I HOPE THEY STOP THESE SELLING MARKETS!

Posted by: Shecca Bay at August 5, 2009 9:35 PM
                                                               

Wow...
I would really like to give her a piece of my mind. who the **** does that?

That is fucking sick.

Posted by: Kathleen at August 5, 2009 10:27 PM
                                                               

um..i am glad there are such dumb people they help with the evidence...it would be like stealing a dimond and putting it on facebook god..dumb...POOR BUNNYS! :(

I'd punch that bitch right in her fucking face.

Good news.I found out this morning on the news that the woman in the picture is being charged with two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty and the store at the Chapel Hill Mall in Akron is being closed down as a result of this act.Let's hope that more Petland stores get shut down as a result of this story.

I signed the petition. This is just wrong. That atrocities like this are allowed to go on and people just look the other way… D': Hopefully that will change soon. ;D

Okay, what's wrong with her?!
Thank god she's being charged with animal cruelty. Those poor bunnies, they never deserved that, and neither do any other animals!

Congratulations Elizabeth Carlisle. Your life now amounts to an Internet blurb regarding a true example of human filth.

Posted by: at August 7, 2009 8:36 PM
                                                               

Not only did that crazy person kill those innocent animals-but people are forgetting about the manager that took the picture. She is just as guilty of this as Ms Crazy. She too, should be arrested! I have been in this store several times and have always left with a feeling of disgust seeing how they treat their animals. No pet store should be allowed to sell animals. They are kept in small cages-way too small for their size. And I always think how scared and lonely they must be on holidays when no one goes in and checks on them. What a Merry Christmas they must have!

I work at a petland and this is so fucked up!!!! We have never done or even think of doing this shit!!! If any animal dog, cat, bird, snake, bunny, rat, ect. is hurt in anyway we take them right up to see the vet!! I am so glad they closed that store and I want to kick her ass!!!

Posted by: at August 13, 2009 6:34 PM
                                                               

I am ashamed to have worked for Petland Inc.

Posted by: Oscar at August 16, 2009 12:39 AM
                                                               

Ugh that is so sick. but i found out on the news today that she is arrested. And how does she think that she could get away with that?

Posted by: at August 18, 2009 6:06 PM
                                                               

that is just sick.
it's sick that people do that to animals.
killing an animal is worse than killing a person,
because animals cant fight back.
animals don't have a voice,
and they can't defend themselves.
yes, animals can bite and claw people,
but bunny rabbits?
she is just sick.
the fact she posted that on facebook makes it alot worse,
because it's showing people that she thinks it's funny and humorus.
she needs help,
and she belongs in jail.
she deserves more than the maximum stentance.
that just pisses me off that she did that,
AND that someone took a picture of that.

Posted by: wendi Adams at August 19, 2009 6:47 PM
                                                               

She is a SICK, TWISTED, EVIL PERSON! Anyone that has the heart to drown a helpless animal, and then pose by thier soaking, limp bodies, SHOULD BE SHOT! SHE'S A HEARTLESS, INHUMANE THING THAT HAS NO RIGHT EVER COMING NEAR AN ANIMAL AGAIN!

Posted by: Julianne at August 22, 2009 2:01 PM
                                                               

How could people be so heartless...
:\

Sick minded people die lonely but i hope she dies of cancer the f$%^&*g bitch !

Posted by: chrisb at September 9, 2009 12:31 PM
                                                               

As far as I am concered, people that hurt animals are pure filth!!, they should be EXECUTED on SIGHT!!, no mercy!!!, this is another sick freak that has no guts to face ANYONE in real life so she hurts and kills little animals, she will die a slow, painful death in hospice after having to go through the embarrassing torture of having some abusive nurse named renee wipe her dirty butthole and the drool of of her face, with the same rag, just what she deserves!!!, or I could be wrong, someone get a hold of her and cave her f**king head in!!, that would be better....
