I oppose the Draft Rabbit Meat Regulations. If adopted, they would have serious consequences for animal welfare, public health, and ethical standards. I oppose legitimising the farming, slaughter and sale of rabbits. Farmed rabbits suffer horribly from birth to slaughter. Rabbits are deserving of and need our protection. By widening our circle of compassion beyond those animals that we know, we begin to understand how all are deserving of better treatment and kindness.
Amy supported: No to Rabbit Abattoirs – Protect All Rabbits from the Meat Trade (Global Signatures)I have seen often the lack of hay for Guinea Pigs 'waiting' to be sold at Lancaster Pets At Home. Hay is the main dietary necessity for these animals. Around 2-3 yrs ago, Lancaster had no small animals on show to sell. The main Pets At Home 'storage' building where Lancaster re-stock from had flooded I was told by a girl working there and many small animals drowned so we don't have any here at present. I was horrified.
Jennifer supported: Stop Pets at Home selling animalsMy 8 year old sister once bought a hamster from pets at home which they claimed was a boy. 4 days later he gave birth to lots of babies. Ate them, then died a day later. Traumatised my sister. Any time I've seen other animals, they are always stressed. Even seen dead budgies on the floor with no staff bothering to take them from the cage
Jessie supported: Stop Pets at Home selling animalsI didn’t realise that piggies at pets at home got sick and ended up in rescues but something that I’ve complained about before is the size of the cages sold for Hamsters & Guinea pigs.
People will buy these animals without researching how to care for them and will assume the cage sold must be the right size. It’s so cruel.
Whenever I have been in a pets at home, I have seen that the animals have adequate hay and food but I expect that depends on whether you have animal lovers working there - people clearly aren’t trained properly or there wouldn’t be so many stories in the comments of dirty bowls and no hay.
I wholeheartedly agree with this petition, they need to stop selling live animals.
Rachael supported: Stop Pets at Home selling animalsI have 2 rabbits I got from a local rescue centre, before I got my bunnies I had my cousin who has kept house rabbits for ten years, show me how to care for my rabbits.
It helped immensely as I had very little idea how much of a commitment it would take. Rabbits shouldn't be able to be bought from a shop on a whim. They require an exotic veterinarian and lots of patience.
Pete supported: Stop the sale of live animals in Pets at Home storesI have loved animals my whole life and the conditions that these pet stores keep their animals in is wrong and the mass breeding culture needs to end.
Kaelyn supported: Stop the sale of live animals in Pets at Home storesAs a Rabbit owner, I can assure you they require so much love, attention & patience. They are so loving but also require so much love in return. Without proper care, this will eventually lead to more abandoned rabbits in the wild that were once domesticated. Please reconsider this act & stop massively breeding this small animals for profit. This is cruel & unfair to these animals! Thank you.
Sara supported: Stop the sale of live animals in Pets at Home storesI saw first hand pets being delivered in the most awful vans freezing cold many poorly rabbits under weight gut stasis econnoculi. Guinea pigs pregnant ringworm conjunctivitis hamsters wet tail rats respiratory problems I worked there for 11 years I voiced my opinion so many times many rabbits sadly died was awful
