I used to work for one of those independant pet shops (if we are talking about the same one, sells kittens!) I quit becuase of the appauling housing the animals had. They had two lionheads in with snuffles, and a tortoise who had his tail bitten off, and CLEARLY needed sutures. They refused to take it to the vets and put them in the 'back room'. I offered to take the two ill bunnies home, but they insisted I paid for them :shock::shock:. I quit, reported them to the RSPCA, and clearly pointed out the 'back room', and they drastically changed everything. I went there again about a year later, and they were back to their old ways :roll: Selling baby chicks for something ridiculous like £2.50 :lol:
As for P@H, I have 3 friends who work there, and I am constantly down their throats about rabbit welfare, so they're not too bad.
Some pet shops are just plain AWFUL, and really should have their licences taken away. Not that Daventry District Council would anyway, when I rang their department, they said they had nothing to do with it, and its RSPCA who deal with it all :evil::evil:
Sorry Cat, I went off on one :lol:
