In Annelie I've read that peta an action has launched. The point is that the German Zoo Zajac company plans to sell puppies soon.
If you google Zoo Zajac related to pet shops, etc., are some how I find out information of concern, especially in relation to the trade in exotic animal species, such as sloth, white-bellied hedgehogs, raccoons. I do not like that offered in free animal trade and the private buyer in a pet shop these exotic animals for sale. But not only the exotic animals - including rodents, birds, amphibians, kittens for free sale in pet shops are available for a year and day and - as now being considered - sometimes puppies.
How naive I was before, many I probably did not even know. But since my cat Merlin moved in with me, I am sensitized.
Today, I wonder where the animals in pet shops come from well how they are transported. And I wonder which develop "quirks" these animals during their stay in a pet shop are open to the public. This is likely to animals or be so terrible, if they longer "on sale" are, you guessed it, how stressful it is for them: clients, children, perhaps too many, perhaps too few fellows, enclosure size, cleaning ... And even if they would only be short "in stores" - the stress with the change of location is still there. And a puppy or kitten? How early they will probably removed from the mother? What about socialization? Or older animals are offered? Where do they come? I have in mind the illegal puppy trade, breeding errors, rummage puppies, crowded shelters, buyers that are not properly advised or do not care ...
But I am not, of course, with these considerations.
- on youtube I have in this context, a documentary video (click) about animals as a commodity found in pet shops - at a particular contractor is the documentation is not limited, it's about free trade in animals in general with several examples
.
- Of course I find more information at peta (click)
- An informative article on the trade and cats also vague legal situation is found in pfotenhieb.de (click) , he comes from 01.04.2009.
- A report on a visit beon Zoo Zajac from September 2009 will be here (click)
I know that there are differences in the pet trade. Of course there are responsible breeders, dealers and buyers etc.und, which also prepare intensively for the keeping of exotic animals and learn.
However, I feel, given the crowded animal shelters animal trade with cats and dogs - to the registered breeders over - a totally superfluous. And I do not feel too well to see live animals in the pet store. As for the exotic - I'm not really informed, but I guess that is no such thing as a "license" for support calls, right? And should really arctic foxes, raccoons or sloth for private buyers to be available? I think there's still plenty to do for the state ...
As mentioned at the beginning of the peta action against the planned puppy trade (click) - yes, I support .
