More and more people are keeping pets these days, but we hope everyone will adopt instead of buying, or go to a reputable pet store or kennel for better care and protection. What we fear most are those unscrupulous pet stores that sell sick cats and dogs and treat them poorly!
On June 3rd in Zigong, Sichuan, a netizen discovered that a pet shop had thrown three unsold cats directly into a trash can! A kind passerby picked the cats out and planned to adopt them! Judging from the shop's behavior, it seems this isn't the first time they've done this. The pet shop makes money by selling animals; if they can't sell them, they abandon them and then buy new pets!
Further reports revealed that the cats and dogs sold at this store also had problems; some pets died within a week of purchase! And this store had been operating there for many years! Most customers were unsuspecting first-time buyers who only realized they'd been scammed afterward, causing public outrage. There's not much we can do now except spread the word!
