Maybe you would be interested in this:

A report has been published on an in-depth investigation of animal
welfare problems in Scottish pet shops (which includes garden centres).

Advocates for Animals, Scotland's leading animal protection
organisation based in Edinburgh, commissioned this report to me in
2003. The main conclusions of the study are that the majority of the
Scottish pet shops:

* Kept animals that displayed abnormal behaviour (which suggests
animal welfare problems)


Dogs that begged, parrots that used four letter words?

Cats not trying to eat every fluffy thing in there? Lizards trying to
get out of the tank? Fish eating flaked food?

The list is ruddy endless. I think the word is PET not wild animal.


Cats sleeping on top of the heated glass tank that is the home of our
three legged tortoise, snails having midnight feasts of the cats's
food
I must stop I hear the RSPCA breaking the front door down.
