WELL DONE EVERYONE-And thank you for being the voice for these helpless animals.

Warning to stores selling animals and keeping them in disgraceful conditions.
Stop looking at your bottom line and THINK about the animals you are selling.
You keep the animals in habitats that are far too small.
You dont know what to feed them.
You don't know how to s*x them, so bunnies etc, are breeding.
You are selling animals that have been taken away from their mom's fartoo young.
You sell tiny cruel cages.
Do you do homehecks?
Or do you just care about the sale?

We will be the animals voice and no, it's not going to stop.
You dont have a clue how emotionally strong animal rescuers are, and they are not afraid of standing up to you.
Shame on you and all who buy from you.

𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐋 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐄𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝐀 𝐂𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐀 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐓𝐀𝐆!

A group of passionate animal activists and BAT supporters in Cape Town have come together to oppose the sale of animals in pet shops - PLEASE JOIN THEM!

Calling 📣 to join the peaceful protests in and ✊

❗️Don’t buy animal food or accessories from pet shops that sell animals.

❗️Pet shops mostly don’t know what the correct diet is for the animals they make money off.

❗️Pet shops don’t do home checks, don’t sterilise and often don’t vaccinate the animals they sell.

❗️Pet shops perpetuate a cycle of cruelty: no sterilisation means more animals breed and end up in shelters that are overflowing and cannot keep up.

❗️Pet shops often sell sick animals, because vet treatment minimises their profit.

❗️Pet shops don’t check where the animals they sell, come from.

❗️Purchased on a whim and without information from pet shops, animals often end up at rescue facilities because their so-called guardians are not prepared in any way to understand their behaviour.

❗️Pet shops use animals as props to lure the unsuspecting public into purchasing a new ‘pet’ and accessories.

❗️It’s always about the money.

Buy food and accessories from pet shops that don’t sell animals.

ADOPT! ADOPT! ADOPT a non-human family member from a shelter.

I think most people are aware that stress bonding is unethical and should never be used, but what does it actually mean?

Stress bonding is-

🐰 Short dates. Constantly splitting the rabbits causes confusion with no benefit to the bond.

🐰 Bonding in a carrier. This is nothing but unnecessary stress and they're unable to interact naturally to advance the bond.

🐰 Bonding in a very small space. We suggest starting with a typical 5 sided pen, the rabbits should be able to move around, interact and get a little space from each other if they wish.

🐰 Forced cuddling. Again, this does nothing to help the rabbits work out how to live together and puts them in an uncomfortable and unnecessary position.

🐰 Using loud noises or vibrations. Hoovering near the rabbits, unnecessary car rides, shaking the carrier, putting them on a washing machine... it goes without saying that these things shouldn't be done to bond!

🐰 Bonding in a bath. The slippy floor is very dangerous and it also doesn't allow you to increase the size over time.

My SPAR

Update on the SPAR live animal sales issue

SPAR has now issued a press release stating they are halting all live animal sales. They mentioned every category except fish – which we are hoping was simply an omission, and that fish are indeed included in this decision.

It is deeply sad that it took massive public outrage on social media for SPAR to do the right thing. We hope this is more than just corporate damage control – that those involved in the original decision have also had a personal change of heart, and are now conscious of the animal welfare crisis South Africa is facing.

SPAR has also stated in comments that the Boksburg SPCA is assisting with the rehoming of all the animals presently at the store that caused the uproar.

And while it might not seem like a big win to some, it is huge. The store at the centre of this uproar – back when it was still Pet Masters – was the site of countless protests over the sale and unethical treatment of animals. To see it transform under SPAR from a symbol of cruelty to a step toward compassion is far more impactful than simply a change in ownership.

This outcome would not have been possible without the tireless voices of activists, rescuers, and members of the public who for years have stood up, protested, and refused to stay silent. Their persistence kept the spotlight on this issue and made change unavoidable.

We thank SPAR for taking this step, and we will be watching closely to ensure it is fully implemented.

𝘼 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙛𝙖𝙧𝙚!
ᴄᴀɴ ᴡᴇ ɢᴇᴛ ᴀɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀ?

SPAR new pet stores “pet storey” recently announced their decision to NO LONGER sell any live animals in stores. this decision was reached after the public called for them to stop the sale of live animals! And we applaud their swift action as we have been told their “pet section” had been closed already!

YOUR voice, YOUR money helped put a stop to that! This will prevent so many animals suffering on store shelves and in the hands of irresponsible impulse buyers.

We would like to urge everybody to keep this energy going! and we are calling for a boycott of PETWORLD!

Show pet stores that selling live animals is no longer profitable for them!!!

Where you shop MATTERS!
Say you are against animal exploitation? Time to put your money where your mouth is! No more supporting store that sell live animals. 🚫🐀🐇🦜🐠🚫

Petworld has stores lined with all types of animals, I have personally had to help rehome many rabbits that originated from petworlds shelves! Rabbits that were left in cages to rot or tossed out on the streets after they were no longer wanted.

Animals are not products.
The recent backlash aimed at pet storey was mainly sparked because they were selling puppies, it is no secret that the vast majority of people react very differently to seeing puppies lined on pet store shelves then they do when looking at smaller animals such as rabbits/mice/fish, stocking those very same shelves… why the double standard?

If you are morally opposed to the sale of puppies & kittens in pet stores, you should be opposed to the sale of ALL live animals.

Say NO to Petworld !

My question to you petworld:
You partner with and support with cat and dog rescues (we think this is great!) however… you still have stores lined with hundreds of other animals? If you truly cared about animals and rescues you would get ALL live animals out your stores!
