A bit of reading material on the subject.
I always thought the naked protest was a great way of getting noticed.
But seriously, dont give up if you live close to shop there are many ways you can
bring attention from some of the 'passionate' animal lovers out there.

Sadly nobody gets anywhere with this particular pet shop. It is a disgrace and has been for a long time!
So we just sit back & give up? Sorry, that's not in my personality! This place MUST be stopped! And there IS a way to do it. We just need ONE person who has the power, to take notice & we will make a difference. I don't believe in apathy..these animals need someone to speak for them & I am willing to stand with nocturnal_pulse (albeit from a distance) & help MAKE it happen! I have sent emails to ACA & Head office of RSPCA. I urge everyone who can go to this pet store to complain to do so. And write letters of disgust to the editor of whichever paper is read there ( eg Advertiser equivelent) Many loud voices get heard!

Neither will wasting your time pretending like you're making a differance. I've called authorities several times and spoken to people from 7 and 9 news not one of them have ended up doing anything.

Get off your high horse, have you even been to the shop? No one is going to take you serious concidering you don't even live in the same state as the shop. As I said, you can all waste your time pretending like you're going to make a diffeance but again it will get swept under the rug like dust. Why not do somthing productive with your spare time, read a book or learn to fish if you like waiting.
I've also been to this place and was equally apalled. I had a look at their reptile section and many of the snakes were ill and the shop assistant claimed that he "wasn't keen on reptiles and didn't know how to pick them up" when i asked to see a hatchling.
I had a look at a few black headed pythons and they were half dead and had uneaten pinkies in their click clacks that must have been there for a week or more. They were charging $1200 for them aswell.
I left totally bewildered and in a hurry. The place felt like a morgue, not a pet shop.

What are the legalities to taking your own photos and pinning them on a popular noitceboard in another part of the town? Provided you don't put a person's face or name or personal details on public display I can't see why you couldn't do this to get the town's attention to the business.
Take a camera and take some photos of the shop - good quality so they can be printed large. Ppl take no notice of small pics. A sad puppy, the dirty cages and empty feed/water bowls. Everything you can to disgrace the shop without mentioning anybody's name, and discourage ppl from selling/giving their animals to this shop. Maybe I should have moved my shop next door to them instead of shutting it down. If I can say so myself, I would have put their efforts to shame and perhaps my business would be thriving. But, I'd had enough of the stress of owning a business. I should apply for work at this shop, let me take over, but I won't move to VIC if it means I have to leave any of my animals behind, and that includes my Roughie I don't have yet .. hehe ..

you should ring "today tonight" and tell them that RSPAC & ACA is sitting on their hands over this, who knows maybe they'll get two stories out of it
These places are open for the public to see - how do they continue doing what they are.
Where are the real RSPCA they appear to be..it is their responsibility to remove animals in harm or danger. I am liking the photo idea mysnakes.
What ever you guys do , i am 100% behind you and will give anything to help.

they have put a sign up saying NO CAMERAS, i think the only way to draw attention to the situation is a protest

All I have to say is, I'm very happy I don't know where it is. I'd get more than banned!

people think outside the box. start a riot in there store or something. lol
nothing will happen dse will sit on there lazy backsides and rspca will keep forwarding info onto them hoping they will do something.
between this forum and 2 others there have been at least 5 discussions about this stores poor condition and all have ended with the original poster saying (ok, i finally did it, i became a big kid and called the rspca and they said they will send an officer out tomorrow)
either we have five people who lied about being big kids, 5 rspca/dse officers who dont know what a poorly kept animal actually looks like or they just realllllllllllllly do not care.
