No animal should be in a petshop ever.

I believe animals need to be looked after properly

Absolutely inhumane. This is criminal behaviour. Owners should be punished and restricted from owning animals at the very least.

I’ve have witnessed myself how bad this shop is, the owners are not like other pet shop owners, she really doesn’t care about animals, just her bottom line, it is a disgrace to the pet shop industry.

Animal cruelty is not ok. Keeping animals in cages is inhumane and not ok.

(LANGWARRIN, 2020-05-22)

I'm signing this petition because I worked at pets galore and it was disgusting and it took Nicole 8 hours to remove a dead cockatiel from the cage and it was also was up for sale so customers could see the dead bird. The Maltese dogs had mats all though its fur and instead of giving him a brush or a shave she just left him for weeks. She also sold a pregnant guinea pig to one of my family members. I bought 2 guinea pigs from her 1 I played with every week i worked and he was only about 4 and 1/2 weeks old when he was on 2 weeks old his mum and sister were taken away from him and he was left to defend himself against bigger guinea pigs and since he was so young when his mother was taken away from him he suffered from heart and lung problems and died 2 weeks after we bought him home and the second guinea pig was also about 4 weeks when we bought him home he had barely any fur on his body and lots of bite marks on him from other guinea pigs. She scolded or bashed mice and would freeze baby mice to feed to her snakes. She also did not care if mice would die she would leave them in there and the other mice would eat them. She has mice traps where customers could see them and they would have mice in them. The Puppy pen would not be cleaned for ages and it was disgusting. Chickens would be cramped into a small run and it would be cleaned once a month with lots of chickens in it. There was a Quaker parrot that was not allowed to be sold because apparently was going through a molt but you clearly could tell that the bird was stress plucking its own feathers out because it was stressed. Photos are not permitted in the store but why you only add that if you have something to hie like the mistreatment of animals that are not receiving proper medical help and that they are living in poor living conditions. The RSPCA on Wednesday the 20/05/2020 Seized over 500 animals from Pets Galore. The RSPCA have been working with Nicole and her staff for years and Wednesday they got a warrant to seize a lot of animals they have gone to Brisbane RSPCA because Toowoomba RSPCA does not have the resources to give those animals the proper care they need.

Although I may not live in this area this is absolutely disgusting behaviour demonstrated by a pet shop! As an animal lover I’m am appalled by these photos and the environment that these animals are in, it’s full animal abuse and animal neglect. I’d be happy to see this place closed and these animals going to loving and healthy homes/pet stores because they do not deserve this kind of treatment

(Christchurch, 2020-05-22)

#3266

This is disgusting, no excuse to treat animals like this!

(Labrador, 2020-05-22)

#3268

I am against animal cruelty. Haven’t been there in years but reading the reviews makes me feel so sad

(Toowoomba, 2020-05-22)

#3269

I’m signing this petition because as I’ve looked at the photos these animals are being treated very poorly & they do not deserve to be. They are living animals and deserve to be comfortable and this pet store is not providing any comfort for them. Their cages are filthy and they are losing feathers and look mangy. This is not acceptable!!

(Forbes, 2020-05-22)

I’ve worked with pets galore before & it’s definitely the most putrid miserable place any pet or human could be.

Many animals enter & never leave :(

There’s a disgusting room in the shop near the smaller animals, Nicole calls this her “staff room” 🤢 Nicole breeds mice in the staff room & keeps a raggedy looking cat there, when i was working there was about 6 big containers & as a part of my job I had to remove all the deceased mice everyday.

(Toowoomba, 2020-05-22)

#3281

Disgusting. This should not be allowed

(Brisbane, 2020-05-22)

#3283

Fuck animal cruelty and***** em

(Geraldton, 2020-05-22)

#3287

......Seriously, what is wrong with people? We truly are the worst species on this planet.
******* people.
I hope one of the animals severely mauls her.
Not enough to kill her.
But just enough, so she’s disfigured for life.

(Melbourne, 2020-05-22)

This shop has been in a disgusting state the 25 years at least. It is well known and Toowoomba and surrounds the disgusting state of the shop and the port animals that live in there. Dead fish faeces gone or overcrowding. I firmly believe this woman who appears to be in denial should not be allowed to open any business to do with animals ever again . it is totally unfair to animals. I do not understand why RSPCA have not acted sooner as there are many many community posts regarding Nicole bourne and pets galore re the undeniably disgusting state of the shop and the smell. it is very sad

(Kleinton, 2020-05-22)

#3289

This is such bs this needs to be shut down!!

(Sacramento, 2020-05-22)

#3290

This matter is an example of why all pet shops nationwide need to be made illegal and the community as a whole need to push the politicians for new legislation !

(Brisbane, 2020-05-22)

#3297

The state those animals have been in over the last number of years is disgusting and to know the owners are still allowed to operate and showed no remorse for these animals is appalling.

(Maryborough, 2020-05-23)

#3298

This business needs to be shut down permanently

(Brisbane, 2020-05-23)

#3299

It is about time this pet store was closed down. No animal deserves to suffer or be kept in these conditions. This has been going on for years and it needs to be stopped.

(Warwick, 2020-05-23)

#3301

That’s disgusting.

(Winton, 2020-05-23)

#3302

Because these are by no means conditions id like to live in let alone an animal

(Warwick, 2020-05-23)

#3304

I am signing this petition because this shop has been DISGUSTING for way too many years. This shop (supposedly accredited by PIAA) is the reason we pulled out of PIAA.
Unfortunately there is not enough regulation in the pet industry, this needs to change!!!!

(Alexandra Headland, 2020-05-24)

#3307

I have been in this store and seen the conditions personally

(Kingsthorpe, 2020-05-25)

#3310

This needs to come to an end ! For the sake of the animals ! Been open too long already

(Toowoomba, 2020-05-25)

#3315

This is a disgusting way to keep animals.

(Toowoomba, 2020-05-26)

#3316

This is disgusting and the RSPCA needs to do SOMETHING!!

(Lawnton, 2020-05-26)

#3318

I cannot condone any mistreatment of animals. To receive financial gain through these animals suffering is inhumane.

(Brisbane, 2020-05-27)

#3319

This is horrible!

(Melbourne, 2020-05-27)

#3323

This business has been abusing animals for years. They know someone in the RSPCA so they haven't been shutdown. Puppy mills as well.

(Toowoomba, 2020-06-04)

#3329

Innocent animals don't deserve to be treated this way

(Toowoomba, 2020-06-25)

#3332

This place of far beyond a disgrace and animal cruelty . . And seeing these photos is disgusting , I have now also seen the owners replies on Google reviews, how unprofessional. What a disgusting human , she needs to rot like her shop .

(Brisbane, 2020-07-04)

#3333

I’m signing this because this is foul and unacceptable treatment of animals and they deserve to be shut down.

(Brisbane, 2020-07-04)

#3341

I went to this store as a child, even then it made me uneasy. But come to find that this store is still open despite having been raided, disgusts me even more. The owner is absolutely reprehensible, and should never be allowed to be around animals ever again.

(Toowoomba, 2020-11-20)

#3342

I'm signing this because I am absolutely disgusted by the treatment of these poor animals by the store owner.

(Toowoomba, 2020-11-20)

#3343

These photos are terrible. No animal should be in these conditions. I'm surprised that nothing has been done before now.

(HARRISTOWN, 2020-11-20)

#3350

I am signing because of the health hazard this establishment poses on defenseless animals and also human. It is shameful to have animals live in unclean cages or environments that produce sickness or skin diseases. This is pure cruelty.
