I went to my local pet shop today and it was quite sad what I found.

its a damn petshop get over it they have to be contained in a store its not like they can just run around the store freely plus it beats them being on the street starving and getting ran over by cars. its not abuse unless they are beating the animals and refusing food or just letting them stay in a filthy cage. japanese petshops are a lot better than most here in america.

@tinybenni People anywhere and everywhere are capable of abusing animals. It's not like she's attacking Japan as a country. Pet stores globally treat their animals poorly because they are nothing but a product to sell for profit.

@grieverslove They wouldn't be so overpopulated at "being on the street starving & getting run over by cars" if pet stores didn't keep breeding them. There are 4 million dogs and cats euthanized in US shelters each year because there aren't enough homes for the amount of animals bred. I don't think that number is as high in Japan but certainly breeding pets in stores contributes greatly to the number put down in shelters.

@tinybenni well I know in canada well where I have been they don't have wire floors for the dogs, so thats a good thing

[tinybenni]

at least theyare not in china or korea where people eat them or africa where people kill animals all the time, my mum was born in africa and she knows about it and i have a korean aunt and K-cousin and they tell me about the animals that get eaten there but every country has animal abuse so don't think its just japan because of the pet stores , in japan people love animals and they treat then like humans so yeah. OH WAIT i have seen american petcos and petsmart. this is fine compared to that.

@mrcheekycheeks nor here in england but canada and england are very alike but basicly everywhere else is bad but its not just cats and dogs here at my pet store the hamsters and guinea pigs and rabbits are kept in tiny living spaces and syrain hamsters are kept together and they fight to the death and should not be kept together but they still keep them together i saw one fight and kill another then the 2 others tried to eat it and the staff did nothing and their cages never get cleaned out.

In my country, Sweden, you are not allowed to sell puppies or kittens in pet shops. But I've lived in Japan and I've seen some pet shops... I would never keep puppies and kittens like that (in most cases). Other animals are treated differently from shop to shop, it variates. Of course.

I also think it's bad to sell monkeys, foxes, owls etc. NOT good pets for the average person.

@tinybenni One of the differences is though here say canada a pet shop tries to get away from doing something like this, they will get so many complaints, sued brought to court and charged with animal cruelty. I've already known about one pet shop near where I live where this happened because of all the complaints form the customers. Therefore pet shop around here at least, are not like this.

Set them free!!! i will not tell anyone, just get them out of there!!!
