i know a few breeders who only hobby breed..one or two litters from one doe maybe two a year.
But today i experienced the work of a breeder i could happily have strangled.
i am very well known in that petshop as is my mum.....and its the only one we go to..if were in town..or its online for us.
so after today..im soo disgusted im not going back again....i usually get cat food if i run out in there
run out in there.....and maybe a check on buns theyre selling...
NOW i will NOT go in there anymore.
Do i look to see if i can contact head office or will it make things even worse for buns?
I saw two little buns...uppy eared cross breeds..dark greyish in colour. the shop had hand written a sign about how long theyd been there...longer than they should have been and how nervous they were.
Then underneath i fell for a black and white lionhead ....he was sooo sweet.
i got my 10 tins of the almo cat food and paid for it. i was talking to the manageress and the shop assistant..and was horrified....that the manageress said she wanted him to go to a home where they wouldnt breed from him....not because it wasnt a nice thing to do..oh no.....
It was because his sister had just been sold and she was ahlf his size..the breeder had let the rabbit have 5 litters in a row:evil:
then the story changed to say the buck kept getting out and once hed even got her through the fence.
To top it all the assisstant then said how shed wisjed she could have kept all hers...she hasnt had any of her buns spayed or neutered..doesnt see why she should theyre fine and not aggressive etc...:roll:
so i told her why she should...and she was like yeah well theyre fine.
i saw an ad for a vets where i used to take my first bun years ago..they say theure accepting chairity vouchers to have buns spayed too.
but it maybe out of date now..ill have to ring them up.
but for these two working in the shop..giving people the idea its ok to carry on like that..im so mad....and i think they got the gist of that soon enough.
sadly the manageress used to be very nice and up on bun health etc and was always writing down nay books etc usefull.
now shes like all the rest...buy n sell...buy n sell.
my mums like yes but if they ddint buy those poor rabbits...what would happen to them..
yes but if they didnt buy themn shed have to stop breeding them to sell then wouldnt she. or gods forbid shed prob sell them as snake food
if you live in my area...its the pet shop next to the natwest bank in waterlooville.
