🚨🚨Please consider signing this petition to end the sale of rabbits at Petco stores. A link to the petition can be found at the bottom of this post. Most of these pet stores do not look out for the best interests of the rabbits. They are only trying to make a profit off of them and don't consider the type of home the rabbit will be sold into.
Anybody who has ever been inside a pet store and seen a rabbit in there knows just how neglected they can be in these stores. They are almost always imprisoned in cages that are not the proper size to allow the rabbits space to stretch their legs, may be living in the same space as other small furry animals, and rarely get the sort of diet that rabbits need in order to get all of their nutrients. And don't forget that the rabbits will be on display right next to those tiny, tiny wire cages for sale that are nowhere near large enough for a rabbit to spend their life in, encouraging this type of environment to new rabbit owners.
Pet stores like Petco tend to sell rabbits to first timers who have no idea about the commitment they are entering in to when they take the rabbit home. They do not educate the new owners about the proper way to care for a bunny or give them warning about the vet costs that come with owning a rabbit. Pet stores will advertise rabbits as easy, first-time pets, but anyone who owns a rabbit and properly takes care of them knows this is not the case.
Selling rabbits in stores like Petco is just a recipe for giving a rabbit an unpleasant life. When the stores sell rabbits like this, it is extremely common for the rabbits to be dropped off at rescues/shelters or just abandoned outside to fend for themselves.
The following link can be used to access the petition, and it only takes about a minute to fill out. Please help us fight for these rabbits so that they can live the lives they deserve. Every voice counts!
