If you could stop pet shops from selling rabbits right now would you?
I would, as lots of my old school friends got pet shop bunnies, and that had so many genetic problems, most likely from inbreeding and poor care.
However, at the Pets at Home store near me, they have a booth of pet homes, that all hold rescue animals (from hamsters to rabbits) that are up for adoption, they also have a small RSPCA branch at the back.
I would much rather see pet shop space be used to re-home rescues, then sell poorly raised rabbits in bulk, particularly as those who don't get sold are probably 'discarded' or hopefully sent to a rescue anyway. Rabbit breeding should be kept to registered breeders only where at all possible, however this is just my opinion, and I was interested in everyone else's.
