This decision will spare thousands of rabbits every year from being bred in cruel breeding mills, sold in stores as gifts, suffering in small cages, abandoned, and dying young due to neglect.
Domestic rabbits are the third most abandoned pet in the United States, and at least 80% of rabbits purchased around Easter are abandoned or die within a year, according to National Geographic.
By letting the public know that rabbits are readily available from shelters and rescue groups — just as dogs and cats are — Petco has done the right thing, thanks to you!
This good news for rabbits is a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, Petco continues to sell other small animals, including hamsters, gerbils, mice, rats, chinchillas, ferrets, guinea pigs, and about 10 different types of birds.
Pet stores should stop selling ALL animals! Living beings deserve respect, care, and protection, not to be treated as things to be bought and sold.
While we celebrate this win for rabbits, we always remember that other animals, such as stray dogs and cats, still need our help. |
