Help Prevent Ladybugs From Being Fried to Death at The Home Depot!

kidzcraftz / CC

PETA started receiving complaints not long after The Home Depot began carrying bags of live ladybugs and praying mantises as part of its "inventory". At multiple stores, bags of insects were reportedly fried in the scorching heat, resulting in slow deaths for every animal in the bags.

Please join PETA in calling on The Home Depot to end its sale of ladybugs and praying mantises at its stores and adopt a policy prohibiting the sale of any live animals. Remind The Home Depot that animals—even ones as small as ladybugs and praying mantises—aren't merchandise and don't deserve to be fried to death in the blazing sun.
