    Bongo: 3 January 2014

    Bongo, our much loved mini-lop bun sadly had to be put to sleep on Friday, 3 January 2014. Her final months involved several bouts of stasis, numerous visits to the vets and us syringe-feeding her medications. Although she sometimes appeared to recover for a short while, the problems returned...

    Help me draft a letter to petshop

    In respect of "quoting regulations" and concerns about appearing "a bit heavy-handed", it must be appreciated that the shop and its management agreed to comply with each and every Condition in the Pet Shop Licence in order to get a Licence in the first place. It's not "heavy-handed" to expect...

    Help me draft a letter to petshop

    Might I respectfully offer the following text for your consideration. You might wish to incorporate it into your existing letter: If you wish, you could also get a copy of the Pet Shop Licence Conditions from the Council that covers the area in which the shop is located and quote the specific...

    The British Rabbit Council - has anyone any knowledge of this organisation?

    In my experience, the BRC do not consider the welfare suggestions in their own "Codes of Pratice" as mandatory requirements upon their members. In addition, the BRC will not take action on complaints about a BRC member regarding their rabbit welfare practices/conditions until after there has...

    p@h .. :(

    P@H are legally obliged to comply with the Pet Shop Licence Conditions for the shop. These Conditions include a suitable environment for each animal. (Too hot is not "suitable"). Neither is "smelly". "Old water" does not comply with the obligations in respect of food/water. The Conditions...

    Grrrr! IDIOT teen and her mother breeding and selling from Devizes backyard....

    I think she is probably relying on the 'get out' that she does not need a licence when selling the offspring of her own pets.:censored::evil. The following is typical: http://www.broxbourne.gov.uk/environment_and_planning/animal_welfare/licence_-_pet_shop.aspx Basically, the backyard...

    Horrible Woman....

    The BRC are very unlikely to do anything. I understand that they will do nothing whatsoever in respect of one of their members unless they have already been prosecuted for cruelty by the RSPCA.

    I complained in PAH today...

    The manager is under a legal obligation to ensure that the animals have "suitable accommodation" and are not "interferred with" by things like "noise". Because that is what is stipulated by the Pet Shop Licence Conditions that apply to his/her pet shop. "He said that he actually hadn't thought...

    The pet shop operator has a legal obligation to ensure that they (and their staff) ensure and maintain compliance with the Licence Conditions.

    Meet Daisy

    Well, if these Petshops are selling animals with an infection, then they are failing to comply with their Pet Shop Licence Conditions. The Pet Shop Licence Conditions of most Local Councils are based (substantially) on the following document: http://www.lga.gov.uk/lga/aio/5791388 Please take...

    Bloomin Petshop

    As Title. Can anyone recommend any good rabbit boarding in (or within travelling distance of) this area?

    Pub Rabbits

    In addition to the RSPCA suggestion: If the pub is part of a chain, write to the head office. If the pub is linked to a brewery, write to their head office. In each case, ask whether the business condones the maltreatment of animals in their outlets? Humilliation or potential PR embarassment...

    pets at home sellin giants!!

    If the giant rabbit is the responsibility of P@H, it looks like the P@H store concerned is failing to comply with the store's Pet Shop Licence Conditions in several respects. For example: Displaying in an outside enclosure. Nowhere to hide. Allowing customers to 'interfere' with the poor...
