evil pet shops

[Elisha Metcalf]

i have only been n this forum a month but i have noticed countless posts about petshops mistreating animals, now we are not allowed to name them on here, but in everyones area there is a petshop mistreating animals, whether it be domestic, reptiles, birds etc, its cruel, i think we need to get groups of people together in different areas to do something about them! protest, anything! i posted one yesterday i trhink it was titled cruelty in petshop, and it was disgusting what i saw in there!

what does everyone think?

doesnt anyone care???

hey i care ,but not all pet shops are "evil" fair enough i know of a pet shop where the owner is a nob,

But there are good shops out there....I work in one, i dont get this pet shops are satan, buying from a shop is idiocy when buying online is better....just because they have a premises?

[djangel]

ofc we care,
and yes its bad you cant name them but the best thing you can do id report them to the rspca and get them to ivestergate it, the more people that do it the more it will get sorted,

im aware they are not all evil, i buy from pet shops myself, im just saying there have been numerous accounts of certain petshops on here that need sorting, i know rach666 has reported a certain petshop loads of times, and nothing has been done, i was in that particular shop yesterday, and i nearly cried it is that bad.

Protesting? Surely thats a bit extreme?
Surely the first thing to do is tell these people if theres something wrong with the way some of their animals are being kept? rather than going around stating, oh they're this, they're that. The shop you went into the other day and "nearly cried" did you bother to talk to the employee there? Bother to tell them what it is that nearly made you cry?

i agree if its really bad you should report.
theres a shop not far from mine, the guy just doesnt have a clue(water dragons on sand) adult blood python in a like an 20" viv

but remember there is a difference to something being mistreated and something not being kept your way.

Have you tried talking to "the guy" about this?

I know what it feels like hunni. You just wanna kill the shop owner with a very sharp object, rip all the animals immediately out of their tank, box em up put them in your car then drive off never to come back. Ive done soo many rescues (baby beardie with only one leg, baby leo, velvet gecko that was starving to death in a pet shop, couple of slightly deformed praying mantis and tried to rescue 3 leopard geckos from a certain petshop in pound lane and they all died from emaciation sadly they were beyond my help when I took them. The amount I cried over one of the geckos, I would have given a finger to keep her alive, I tried so hard to help her but she finally gave RIP Trixie. I really dont care about naming and shaming ****** here. I vowed to damage them in every way possible after losing Trixe and believe me If I could shut them down it would be in a heartbeat. But the sadest thing of all is that they still carry on. Ive heard some real horror stories from that place and another one not far from me but I wont name them as ive already been threatened with court action once.

If you want to get a group together I would take part as I feel as strongly as you do. But what would we do ya know. Rspca dont care about reps and all we could really do is expose the shops that need sorting

yes i did, and she said she would pass the message on, which i know someone else on this forum has also been told every time she complained and now she is barred, maybe protesting is a bit extreme i know,
