I wasn't sure where to put this so mods feel free to move if wrong.
Pet shops in South Africa are openly & unashamedly selling domestic as live food even though it is illegal to do so by law. Because rats are not seen as pets by pet shops but as fodder they are bred and confined under the most horrific conditions. Going to a pet shop there and buying a couple of rats is like buying a bag of dog pellets. When a customer asks for dead rat the pet shop emplyee goes into the back (in full view of customers) takes the rat out of the tank by it's tail and bashes its brains out!
the Cavyrescue wants to help highlight to the South African Government and Animal Welfare bodies such as the NSPCA & WSPA that they need to get involved in stopping this cruel trade. You can either visit www.cavyrescue.co.uk and follow the link on the homepage or go direct to: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/819784721
I have already signed this petition. Obviously i'm not against people feeding their snakes but i am against people who treat animals cruelly and this is what we are protesting about.
