Yea, it will solely on dogs and puppy mills. I remember they (random group of people) held a protest at a Petland in Orlando. The thing about the aquarium side is that *****/Petland get many/most of their fish/corals/inverts from the same suppliers as the "big online boys." So the issue is the stores themselves, which obviously an hour documentary on a pimply-faced teenager not taking due care isn't as compelling, and rightfully so.

Very interesting and I plan to watch. Thge Petland here is really focused on churning out dog sales. Will be interesting to watch this special.
As far as the salt section, they get some decent coral but they charge way too much. They were losing money on fish loss and jacked up their prices instead of fixing their tanks.

I won’t buy my coral from the Petland out by me, it is all covered in hair algae. I even told the manager guy that I don’t want that mess in my tank, hoping he would clean things up.

Yep same here. That is why they have big losses. There tanks are filthy and filled with ich. I won't buy again from there. It will be interesting to see the animal planet show to see if it hurts their business any. Their dogs here are also outrageously priced.
