Pet shop rant grrrr
So our local parrot/bird shop - who also keeps reptiles rather badly and fish - have decided the "latest" must have for the folk of Moreton is a marmoset!!
They have a 5 week old baby common marmie in a hamster cage on the counter in the shop - 5 WEEKS OLD GRRRRRR HAd to rant to people who actually understand that " aww it's cute" isn't bloody justification for substandard housing, advice, greed and plain cruelty!  :c ensor:

I can't see the poor thing surviving long if its only 5 weeks old... What age should they be weaned? 5 weeks sounds way too young.

Go to the local newspapers with this...you'll probably get more done than with the RSPCA. You want to play on the fact that so many people think its not right to keep primates in captivity at all. For once the AR loonies will be on your side. How much are they charging for it? Just curious whether they'd be charging the earth. Totally disgusting. I would have been tempted to take the cage and run.

They are asking £1000 for the wee one! The guy in pet shop really knows his stuff about birds I will give him that but he is stepping into unknown territory with reps and exotics.
I am moving home soon and have sold the entire contents of our current house to fund the move - that nearly never happened as I was tempted to just buy him cash and bring him to live with Zooman so he would be properly cared for  Our local paper is crap TBH as is our local RSPCA although I will call them asap to inform them and see what they say

Council give pet shop licenses as you more then likely know...report animal abuse to them due to research you can see the animal is in unsuitable temp home in a shop...and even tho u agree shops keep pets in smaller then ideal housing due to over heads and normally fast turn out of pets a marm at a grand...isnt going to sell quickly!
