I ♥ happy endings! I cried when watching this.

Thanks PETA!!

wow, i hope this video shows people what really goes on in pet shops. adopt -- don't buy animals!

[kimberley45am]

@petachip22 unfortunately this wont eliminate the problem as a large majority of animals available fro adoption will be dumped animals that were brought at pet stores. The only way to stop this is for people to stop having pets!

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

@tinky626 They can't. Lemurs are from Madagascar and many of these animals would die because they haven't had the proper training in the skills they would need to survive.

[tinky626]

they should have set them all free

This made me cry :( but I love the happy ending.

My friend's mom is a raccoon rehabilitater and let me tell you, I've held baby AND adult raccoons, possums and seen rescued squirrels. I aspire to be like my friend's mother and rehabilitate animal when I get older. You never really know how precious an animals life is until you've seen it's pain and/or held it. They raccoons are the nicest and cutest. I've helped feed them and clean up their shacks but it's always a joy.
