Frogs Are Dying to Get Out of Brookstone September 8, 2009

Posted by Rachel-O | Permalink | Comments ( 5 ) | TrackBack

Have you told Brookstone what you think of the "Frog-O-Sphere" yet? The "Frog-O-Sphere" is the tiny prison where the store is keeping frogs, while making money off of telling people they can keep these animals in the tiny boxes while barely taking care of them.

The company sets a great standard by taking injured and sick frogs to the backroom to languish and die instead of calling a vet—and ignoring their own employee's concerns over the lack of care for the animals.

Check out pics from our recent demo outside of a Boston Brookstone store!





These imprisoned little animals need your help. Please keep the pressure on Brookstone to do the right thing and stop selling live animals. If you haven't already, please take a moment to call Brookstone and ask that it stop selling live animals. Call 603-880-9500 and enter extension 6826 once the automated system picks up. Don't forget to leave a message if no one answers.

Please let this company know that animals shouldn't be treated this way. We'll give Street Teamers 1000 points for calling and e-mailing us at StreetTeam@peta2.com to let us know how it went!

Stay loud!
-Rachel

Places like this really should never sell live animals in tiny cages, it's just cruel. In fact, nobody should ever sell exotic pets in tiny glass domes. And plus, who in the world wants a little suffering frog in their house? Not me. :-(

I worked at the brrokstone at lakeline mall in austin and i was very against the frog o spheres when we got them in stock. in all honesty though, we did take care of the frogs and made sure they were as happy as they could be since there wasnt anything else we could do for them. we couldnt free them because they arent native but we made sure they had a good life with us. regardless.. everyone keep calling corporate and make them stop selling the frog o spheres
