I don’t know about in your area, but in our area of Niagara Falls, Canada, the pet stores are putting their foot down!
When I went in to get fish food the other day, I noticed that their “resident” bunny that’s been there for a while was nowhere to be seen.
I always say hello to him before I leave because he’s just so darn cute!
I asked one of the girls where he went and she said that he was in back. I asked her why, and she said that they are not allowed to sell “seasonal” animals.
For a specified amount of time before and a short time after each Holiday that has something to do with an animal, they won’t sell that animal.
For Example: Bunnies, ducklings or chicks around Easter, or black cats around Halloween.
Actually, that’s a great idea…
More often than not, these animals are bought and then not properly taken care of afterwards.
They were an impulse buy for the children and once the occassion has passed, they are no longer neat and fun, plus they grow up to be adult animals. They become neglected pets.
Before feeling the urge to buy a baby chick for your child at Easter, just think…that baby chick will grow up to be a bonafide chicken!
What are your pet stores doing to control Holiday pet purchases?

P.S. Go ahead…Just get a bunny poster instead – You don’t have to feed it (LOL):
