# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Protest Petco to Stop Selling Animals - Adopt, Don't Shop!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us in demanding that Petco stop selling animals! Animals sold in Petco, Petsmart, and other pet stores come from horrifically cruel breeding mills and some species are even kidnapped from their habitats in the wild. Shockingly, the majority of animals bred and shipped to pet stores die before they even reach the store shelf. 
Animals are not merchandise and selling them is costing millions of them their lives. The time is now for Petco to stop selling animals!

When: Saturday October 17th, 3pm
Where: Meet at 2725 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, CA. We will walk to Petco together.
Accessibility: We will walk a short distance from the meeting location to the store where we will mostly be standing for about an hour.

All materials will be provided!
