A lady just messaged me through my local classifieds website. For the last year or so I've been putting an advert in the rabbit section encouraging people to go to rescues/neuter/vaccinate etc.
This lady messaged to say that she had come to the Island for a holiday and had hoped to find a pet rabbit whilst she was here. She listed a bunch of pet shops and then said that the final one she went in was... not good. She said the animals had empty water bottles, no food, there were bags full of dirty sawdust just on the floor and when she asked to get a rabbit out for a cuddle, it bolted into it's sleeping area and upon opening it, she found a dead rabbit in there. :shock:
I have been in this pet shop many times before (and a friend of mine used to work there and has told me plenty of horror stories) and I can absolutely 110% believe that could be true.
Queue another letter to the Council... :evil:
