As most have said, there really wasn't even an online store at that point, let alone charity pets. Wow was still brand new then. The online store and all that came after Katrina.

the girl I used to like rejected me. gief charity pet, blizz! lol
I am upset aswell... why wasn't I awarded with a nice mount of a transmoggable One Handed Crutch when I hurt my foot in Real Life....
The entitlement generation has awakened.
Also keeping this time line in mind, the blizzard store wasn't even around until Wrath of the Lich King. Which was what, the end of 2008 when it was launched so I'm pretty sure the pet store didn't launch until 2009.
This is probably why blizzard was so reluctant to donate any money from the pets anyway because of people like you, the OP, who aren't satisfied with anything a company does try to do for the better good.
