Selling Doe and 8 x 2 week old Kits

Jack's-Jane

Wise Old Thumper
Are there any animal welfare Laws that would cover this situation ?

Seller says they will let Doe go on her own in TWO WEEKS ie when the Kits will only be 4 weeks old :cry:
 
I'm almost certain there are laws that prevent the sale of animals before they are deemed old enough to leave their mothers (with rabbits this is 8 weeks).

It was one of the things the council people asked me about when I was trying to get them to do something about my Eli's breeder and they were looking for things they could actually do something about, so perhaps phone your local council offices or CAB who will point you in the right direction.
 
i thought by law the had to be 6 wks minimum so unless their letting the doe go with her kits then thier breaking the law??
