I'm making this topic because I found out something really sad and I went on a rant about it on X-Box 360. Jrod promoted me from Level 1 Ranter to Level 5 Ranter. Please people, rant in here all you want, post news that are important to you. It's ok to agree and disagree here. Below is what I'm ranting on. I want to see what you guys thing about it.

Petco Pets Die In Flood



Johnson City, NY (WBNG Binghamton)

Some animals died in the flooding this week, trapped inside a pet store.

Petco admits that some animals died at the store off Harry L. Drive in Johnson City in the plaza next to Toys R Us. The area was under several feet of water.

Petco does not say how many animals died or what kind of animals they were.

It says animals that survived were later removed and taken to safe locations.

Despite highly publicized river flood warnings on Wednesday, on its facebook page, Petco says it had no reason to expect the store would be impacted by the flooding, even though the Susquehanna River runs not far behind the store.

Petco says a store associate checked the store late Wednesday night and there were no signs of flooding or a flood warning in effect.

It was underwater by Thursday morning.

Petco blames the tragedy, not on the river flooding, but on a backup in the sewage/drainage system.

Village Mayor Dennis Hannon say the company's logic doesn't hold water.

He says the area was inundated by floodwater from the Susquehanna River, and to blame it on a backup in the sewage system is absurd.

This just outraged me. I am going to rant. Thats right, Fish Rant. Jrod type. I will make a video sometime tomorrow. Thoughts.

Animals hold a special place in my heart and I'd do anything to protect my two pets from death. Its so sad to see something so helpless get caught up in something like that, they are living things too.

I'm watching the video and it did want Jrod's videos used to do. Make my voice really low.

Man, I'm such a pet lover, maybe not cats, but I wouldn't want to have anybody's or mine die, and especially not like that.

What. The. F**k?

This is just my own two cents on this:

I think the head offices of PetCo should terminate the management and the employees of the Johnson City PetCo store with NO PAY. Boom. You're gone, fired, that's it. They should be heavily fined by the state of New York, and I wouldn't be surprised if PETA went in on this. By the time the floodwaters subside, expect the people of Johnson City tp be banging on PetCo's door forcing a lawsuit while they go traverse the streets and protest.
