Hi,
I just wanted to know what other RU members think about something. I have indirectly found out about a company that does children's parties and nursery sessions with rabbits and guinea pigs. I looked on their website and they do a package where they will bring a 'mobile zoo' to children's parties with animals ranging from reptiles to our favourite furry friends.
I dont know why but it made me feel really sad and angry for those poor rabbits and guinea pigs. Being that they are prey animals and easily scared, I am not sure that taking them out and about regularly is a good thing. And since it is a business, I cant help but think that profit might be more important than welfare.
What do other people think? Obviously I am just speculating from what I can make out from the website, and it does sound like they are qualified and experienced people, but even so it doesnt quite sit comfortably with me. Maybe I'm just over-sensitive, I dont know...
(Also all their hutches in their gallery are really small )
