if theres a problem with a shop you need to phone the local council and ask for the pet shop licencing department.

( you have to put a fake calm voice on tho ) tell them whats going on, write it down and make a list, stick to it and dont get upset

get a couple of more people to phone up & do the same, then nice council lady goes and has a look, and if they know their onions, they`ll give them a 7 day notice to clean up their act, or their licence gets taken away.

simple but effective

( worked at our local hole )

Thanks for your advice, but with this particular council it doesnt work, its not as easy as you make out. He's had his licence taken off him several times and he just keeps gettin another one under someone elses name.

Update for today, Emma went down yesterday and she says they have seperated all the reptiles, and its still dirty, but looks a lot better.

I smell a rat, i says.

She says all the pet shops have all just been checked to get a new pet licence for the year. Doh! xx

See that's the problem with pet shop licenses! If you own a shop and are closed down you can apply (and would be granted) a license under a different company name! You don't even have to use someone else's (personal) name, the proprieter can be the same as before, but the shop name has to be different! It's happened around Telford a few times, it really does need changing!

Not that I advocate this sort of thing, but do the shop have a website?

A DDOS attack has quite remarkable effects on a business'es income if they're reliant on that particular method.
