Petsmart "Dumpsters"
I'm walking back from Din Ho (Peyton Gin and 182) the other night
and needed to pee (overactive bladder - medical necessity). So I
ducked behind the corner of the dumpster to take a quick one. Hmm,
lots of feathers back here. And that's a pretty odd looking lizard
skeleton I'm peeing on. And syringes. And it's kinda funky
smelling back here, too.
Then from inside the dumpster I hear this thumping/knocking against
the side wall. Eeek, some junkie is digging or sleeping in this
dumpster?
I finish what I'm doing and walk around the front side and there it
is again, against the opposite side wall this time. I look and see
that this fancy dumpster is completely sealed up with an enclosed
chute coming right out of the back of the building. And it looks
like it acts as a compactor, too. How did somebody get in there?
Then I got to wondering what kind of store was in front of this
building... Lets see... A PetSmart and a veterinarian (Banfield Pet
Hospital according to Google). Ahh, now I get it. Feathers,
syringes, odd skeletons...
Apparently some of their merchandise and patients aren't quite dead
when they "bury" them. This was more than the twitching of nerves
at 10:45PM on a Saturday - whatever it was seemed to be jumping
around inside there and quite vigorously. But alas, I am not a
veterinarian or doctor.
What a way to go, eh? Reminds of the scene from "Behind Enemy
Lines". At least they could have activated the compactor and
squashed whatever was still alive.
Where's Brooks when you need her?
