Some animals are in critical condition .. and two birds died.. after a fire at a Houston pet store, but two birds died.

The fire broke out around this morning at the Pet City Discount Center on Bammel Westfield Road.

When two employees arrived to open the store, they saw the flames and called 911.

It is obvious these animals came from puppymills and kittymills. Such a sad situation. This place should have been closed down along time ago. Where did all the animals go?

In the news report, the woman actually said she didnt care about the building burning - but she cared about the animals due to they were the family business!! Not that she cared about them due to being living creatures that deserved to be cared about - but that she cared about them due to being the family business!!! They even mentioned that lots of the critical animals were actually sick before the fire. And in the pics that were taken, lots / most were all in the cages one on top of the other with mesh bottoms that are inhumane to the animals - not sure if they were temporary cages due to the fire of if that is where the animals live day in and day out!! I worry about the animals and wonder what will happen to them now!!

That's horrible. It's too bad that they probably would've died anyway since they are at a pets store. .... Especially a pet store like that!!!! 100 dogs and cats!?!?!? I don't think so! What horrible people!
