In Response To: Petcetera to stop selling bunnies before Easter (Carmina Gooch)

April 6, 2007

Petcetera,
To Whom It May Concern:

Kindly let me know why your stores in the lower mainland of BC have an agreement with the BC SPCA that they will no longer sell bunnies, yet all the other stores are still continuing to sell them.

The cruelty that occurs when bunnies are bought on impulse and then thrown away needs to be recognized and ceased immediately, not in the future.

I will no longer shop at any Petcetera store unless this practice ends now, and am advising my friends and acquaintences to do likewise.

Sincerely,
Diane Esther.

Petcetera could easily make the right decision

Now if we could only put enough pressure on EVERY pet store so that they would stop selling ALL animals
