- **Event Name**: Petco - Stop Selling Animals!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 08 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 pm
- **Event Description**: In recognition of International Parrot Crisis Awareness Day we are asking Petco to stop selling animals entirely, including parrots. In their natural habitats parrots live in large communities and enjoy full, rich lives. In captivity parrots, like other animals, suffer immensely. Those sold in stores like Petco are bred in horrifically cruel breeding mills and even kidnapped from the wild. Many suffer and die in these mills, in shipping, in stores, and even after they have been purchased. Animals are not commodities and we must end the breeding and sale of animals for profit. 

When: Sunday, March 8th at 1pm
Where: Meet outside of Daiso at 7000 El Cerrito Plaza, El Cerrito
Accessibility: There will be some standing and walking. We’ll have a couple chairs on hand in case anyone needs to sit
