As for the FTC VS. Petco case? What is the FTC Thinking? Attack victim of crime? Outrageous attack on American businesses. If it was before the shadow of the things that we can expect from the FTC in 2005?
Public comment: "In terms of Petco Animal Supplies, Inc., File No. 032 3221"
Dear Sirs, This letter is from his own free will, and I was encouraged by another to take time from his schedule to write to you today.
As a former retailer Petco Animal Supplies, I can tell you that unlike a lot of corporate America, Petco pays its bills on time. They do not string their suppliers for the 90-120, like many other companies, who so often have corporate retained earnings, but do not pay their bills on time. We are in the truck wash business among other services and our franchisees who have had the pleasure of washing the concrete in front of their stores or their trucks are quite very happy with the bill. I can make this statement from personal knowledge and observations. Petco also supports no kill shelters and animal adoption, what a wonderful, wonderful thing to do, they do not have to do. Petco is a great corporate citizen, because of it. Their employees are top notched and they truly care about our nation's pets. "Bear" who happens to be half Australian Shepard and half lab (smarter than most state workers to the Federal Trade Commission, in my opinion), my dog is pretty happy with the proposals Petco employees to toys and healthy food. I am the 'South Beach low-carb diet "and" bear "has a special balanced nutrition and has never been happier or looked better. Together, our mutual child we are both looking very good these days.
of their employees go out of their way to help customers, consumers and their pets. They know the "bear" by name, while in Starbucks they only know my name. Petco truly represents what is good about American business and corporate America. We see that the Federal Trade Commission pulled its corporate name through blato.Federal Trade Commission has done in trying to promote a policy of rigid enforcement of rights to privacy and to stop identity theft. However, they make an example of another great, not really a big company in the process, when this problem is running rampant throughout the free svijeta.Federal Trade Commission was unable to even slow down the problem. I think Viagra will attack next?
I asked, "bear" while we were out jogging the other day, he is very dog athlete with his new diet, wow! In any case, I asked him what he thought about the Federal Trade Commission and started growling and showing his teeth, but the "bear" as you might have guessed the dog is not violent at all. Then I asked him what he thought about Petco? He bowed his head and wagged his tail, I thought that he would turn around, run back home and wait in the cab of my truck to jump in so we can go to Petco. He understands Petco, Petco love as you know. "Bear" is a great judge of character. I asked him what he thought of the Federal Trade Commission VS Petco, he barked and wagged his tail and looked confused. So am I, "bear" is wrong, why are you picking at Petco. The bear was very angry about the whole thing. I better not jog by the Federal Trade Commission building more because he is responsible for this matter to the FTC their property or sign any of these thorny bushes out front. Fortunately, with this new Petco diet, it should not be too bad as his digestive system also works very efficiently, but "Bear" is quite upset at this attack on his favorite store, and quite frankly I do not blame him, not one bit. Dogs like Petco and I'm so!
May I remind the Federal Trade Commission that if they worked closer with Microsoft in the beginning and allowed them to develop specific protocols, operating system, then today there would be little opportunity for sending unsolicited e-mail as SPAM. Today I have 2000 spams per day, which means I have less time to spend running with "bear." Federal Trade Commission is just now able to even define what is spam.Savezne Trade Commission has filed 64 cases for in vain in my opinion. Since it was a problem my SPAM SPAM has gone up 3000%, which is an invasion of my privacy. Thank you guys anything. We should put a "bear" in charge of spam issues, I bet you could take a bite out of SPAM, bet he could do better than the FTC. Today we see that International Terrorists use phishing tactics to sucker citizens and consumers from their hard earned money. Then use that same money to attack American citizens or American interests abroad.
If the FTC can not stop this then they are part of the problem rather than solutions. Which team is the Federal Trade Commission about? I believe that the Federal Trade Commission is guilty that grandparents have their identities stolen and their bank accounts emptied by this phishing technique, the FTC was not able to get a handle on. How easy is it for this agency to withdraw corporate name through the mud when the Federal Trade Commission was nothing but mud on his face. "Bear" does not understand that mud on your face thing as he likes to bury things in the yard so he is not concerned as I am about it. "Bear" knows how to fish the right way, he was taught by his father, "Sam" and his mother, "socks". He likes to jump into the river and catch fish, and sometimes catch them too, he does not expect anyone to his fish, such as the Federal Trade Commission.
the Federal Trade Commission was so quick meetings, sending out press releases on the AP wire and Internet services to more than 6500 media every time you file the case. Many times before companies are attacking even got a copy of the bogus complaints. I believe that the Federal Trade Commission in a hurry to get promoted, they have stolen the real capital from Petco. Brand names difficult to build, it takes years, but the Federal Trade Commission can attack and pull the brand through a channel with a simple filing if there is any basis or not, until the company can not fight back. Comment on brand building:
This is utter and pure blackmail. I have personally met the Federal Trade Commission investigators and prosecutors can tell you from personal character positions that do not hold a candle to the caliber of employees at Petco and I think from the top of the food chain companies in the grocery store manager, the front first week at work, a team of employees by people cleaning their trucks . Petco, their team and extended family care for the consumer, our clients and our pets. I'm sure Petco even cares about you 'dogs' on the Federal Trade Commission (I apologize to "bear" in comparing his species with the FTC, it is not fair to him). Petco loves all animals regardless of how ugly and mean spirit are. (Personal opinion - it was too "! Ruff" for a small secret group within the FTC itself, calling them "gray wolves'?).
I think Petco has fixed this problem, so nobody can hack into your system any more. It's not that the purpose of the rules? Why are not we attacking hackers or criminals? Why are we punishing a company that is a victim of crime? The reason is clear, it is because the Federal Trade Commission have concerns about what is right, their only goal is to raise fees, the collection of fines and promote their bureaucracies, how sick, none of this makes any sense. If someone steals your car, the police will prosecute the owner, because he left the window cracked inch or two, and he went to the store, maybe the owner has a nice companion to "bear" and use it leaves a smidge down? It is obvious that this car owner will never make that mistake again, if his car gets stolen, why do we need fine here? Please enlighten us with your noble clothes-less king, oh noble FTC, please tell us how to help the consumer? Any penalties will have to be made by the company, so passed on to the consumer. So to steal your hard-earned brand name, then the consumer pays more in the future? Would you say "bear" why I had to choose between the red and yellow balls a squeeze toy, instead of buying both? Yah, like you would understand why he can not have more. He's a smart dog for sure, but I think that the FTC simply does not get it.
of the Federal Trade Commission has hurt Petco brand equity in an amount not less than $ 10 million and this was the first and only offense, I believe the Federal Trade Commission should immediately contact the Petco $ 10 million and send a personal thank you for the great service that American Pets and their owners. I also believe check be cut and delivered now so they can decide which one they want to put it on their books. You see my grandmother's best friend owns shares in Petco, some shares in the company. It is a consumer and your case and how the Federal Trade Commission announced it in the media had a negative effect on the company and its shares plunged, you're hurting her investment in a solid company with good reason. This lovely old lady with three cats, and she loves Petco too. It has invested in Petco, because she knows that a big company, because he patronizes the shop, even on her modest fixed income. How dare the FTC hurt this beautiful old lady egg nest, with some frivolous, promptly filed a case that is not worth the paper it is written on. G. FTC, consumers have a damaged back. So, is that the Federal Trade Commission to stand? Forget about the consumer? Maybe you should change your name, after all their attacks hurting the company hard earned reputation and consumers, who are sworn to protect?
I believe that the Federal Trade Commission knew or should have known that this is a perfect corporate citizen is an attack has caused harm to pets and consumers. I always suspected the Federal Trade Commission as offensive to the animals after all have a statue of half naked man on steroids trying to do God only knows what the horse front? Pathetic. Petco would never show such flavors degrading animal statue in front of any of their locations, such as love of animals. No, not in a way I guess the Federal Trade Commission does not? What exactly is that man in the statue itself is trying to make maneuvering on the back of a horse like that?

Please do not answer that. I had my doubts all along. Scary stuff, I tell you, if you tried to do with the "bear" and will be very sorry if you did not get, I would. You people can put a statue of Michael Jackson out front, with a boy or a baby with a disrobed Catholic priest? Is the Federal Trade Commission has never never land, you can not see that your attack on 272 of the Fortune 500 in the last few decades, that I could add employing about 22% of all Americans, and account for half of our economy, which is what what makes America great? I can not understand the Federal Trade Commission that an entrepreneur has to use every thing you see everywhere you go in our great nation? Why would any government agency to destroy a great company, providing choice and competition to help consumers get the quality products they want at a reasonable price? Without Petco; American pets to be like those in Afghanistan, Iraq or Indonesia might now after all the devastation from the tsunami and earthquake. Our pets might not have the quality of life they enjoy in such a free country, if not for Petco. Instead, our best friends will be too skinny, malnourished and forced to play with sticks and dirt clods, but squeaky toys and chew squishy frisbee.
Federal Trade Commission knew or should have known that the reason the company hacked goes way back to the Federal Trade Commission's own incompetence, under the Clinton administration. This is the Federal Trade Commission is a weakness to be affected by AOL and other competitors to lobby them to attack Microsoft, is a clear winner in the market through superior products, better pricing, strategic expansion and consumer choice. It is, therefore, the Federal Trade Commission inability to provide proper guidance to the industry that caused this hole in the IT software from a second-tier suppliers and a quick fix patch-ware. Why is the Federal Trade Commission and the attack of American interests, not that the goal of international terrorist killer? Why is the FTC using blackmail tactics and mass media hysteria to prove self worth for the FTC's budget for next year? Why is it that the Federal Trade Commission has failed eight times in the last ten years to get their budget on time and accurately? Why is the FTC provides a loop hole for a telemarketing company, and then publish my phone number on their website? Why is it that the Federal Trade Commission hurts the American company's brand name causes the loss of millions of dollars annually without retribution? Why is it that the Federal Trade Commission will look into the mirror and see which ones really work in America and its most loyal employers and their ability to compete in world markets? Why is the Federal Trade Commission through the extortion of evidence that companies that it is safer to outsource over seas or to transfer the seat of your company in other countries to prevent the hassled and attacked?
I think America, its consumers and our wonderful pets deserve some answers. After carefully reviewing this case: a.) I suggest a fine be dismissed, B.) an apology be issued to Petco for display in their stores and websites, and c) check for $ 10 million to be sent immediately Petco Corporate. It is time that the Federal Trade Commission stopped screw around, grandstanding and attacking the top U.S. companies. It is time to be fraud on the Federal Trade Commission to stop here and now. It is time for the FTC to use this new year as a new beginning to come clean and play straight, and hypocrisy is unworthy of the agency with a history of truth, justice and the American way.
God Bless America and God Bless her pets. Finally, I would like to stress that all state agencies that I studied in my professional opinion, there is no greater waste of taxpayer money or use state funds, therefore, that the divisions within the U.S. Ministry of Justice's Federal Trade Commission. What a total shame that a great nation, built on the sweat, blood and tears of entrepreneurs and capitalists. This is simply pathetic, to completely despicable and disgusting! Federal Trade Commission should be ashamed of them selves. I am ashamed for them, "bear" on the other hand wants to have nothing to do with them and angry at me comparing his species with the agency.
