Young Bun
So I went into our local independent pet shop today for some dog food and was horrified to see that they sell bunnies.
They keep individual buns in the equivalent of Ferplast 100 indoor cages and I think they have a small run out the back which they put the bunnies in for exercise.
To make things worse, they also offer boarding IN the pet shop next to the rabbits for sale. I am sincerely hoping these rabbits are vaccinated because not only are they being kept next to unvaccinated 'stock', Joe public is constantly walking by and could be carrying all sorts of nasty viruses!
There was a beautiful grey and white mini-lop boy in there for sale born mid September. I would love to offer him a better life but I know by buying him, I will only be fuelling the demand. Poor babies
On the plus side (I guess), they were priced at £60 per single bunny so this might prevent spur of the moment purchases. However, with rescues asking for donations of £50+ for health checked, vaccinated and bonded pairs - why would people buy?!
Hmph.
