I got an email from gumtree today, it ‘noticed’ that I look at its ‘small Furries’ and sent me an animal care guide.
I have sent them a long email. I thanked them for their well meaning advice (RSPCA leaflet), but suggested that the stop allowing people to advertise rabbits for free, and the reasons why. I also informed them that they have a responsibility to the pets they advertise and some more up to date advice would be useful, ie a hutch is not enough ‘ etc. I also told them to signpost people to the RWAF. The RSPCA do not have minimum size guidelines, as all their advice has to be scientifically evidenced based. They have a report currently commissioned at University of Bristol which is due at the end of 2018. Hopefully they will be able to adopt minimum size guidelines after this.
Well, if we all do a bit...
