Was getting some food for the rabbit earlier and saw some council house retards buying a new rabbit, they were counting up all the benefits they receive to see if they could afford it, they them picked up a large hamster cage and bought two rabbits and keeping them both in a hamster cage  fucking cruel.
Got me thinking why is there no regulations about this, shops should not serve customers unless they are happy the animals are going to be kept in a decent enviroment
Unsure if there is anything I can do, maybe write to the RSPCA and suggest that these shops are allowing this kind of thing to happen

The petshops by me always ask about the conditions the animals are going to be kept in...
Even fish...

The petshop near me ask what conditions they'll be staying in, have you ever had one before etc etc which is the best way imo.

rspca wont do out as long as the animal has shelter, food and water.
they would just advise the people to get something bigger.

Pets At Home in Gateshead wanted to see what cage we bought after Lynn got 2 gerbils, they made sure it was suitable.

i work in the warehouse for a petshop business (2 shops) and sometimes at the shops themselves... the smaller businesses usually have people that want to work with animals and look after them etc.
one of ours was voted best pet shop in the country by which magazine, which was nice. they do, do a very good job though... the other is a bit gay but still look after the animals.
places like pets at home... they dont give a toss really i don' know what kind of idiots they employ. theres one about 5 misn from one of our shops and we always hear bad things about it from customers.
