Dear Mr Pritchard

Please find below a link to a petition which has been signed by more than 27,000 people who want to see an end to the sale of rabbits in your stores.  

https://www.change.org/p/peter-pritchard-ceo-pets-at-home-stop-selling-rabbits-altogether 

Since the petition was created two years ago, more serious welfare issues have come to light, via rescue cases, customer complaints and feedback from your staff. They relate to both rabbit sales and adoption.

Here is the link to all the reasons behind the petition:

As you can see it is currently difficult to believe that Pets at Home puts pets before profit.

Please align your actions with your words, make an ethical decision and a real difference by replacing the sale of suffering animals with high quality products and supplies. There is an increasing demand for spacious housing solutions for rabbits so this could be a great opportunity for Pets at Home.

I look forward to your response.

Best wishes

28,000 supporters have now signed the petition and it will remain open until we receive a satisfactory answer. We will keep sharing stories and facts as they come up. Thank you to all of you who have signed and shared. Rabbits need us more than ever to speak up for them.

Rabbits are not commodities and shouldn't be sold in shops.
