Pet Habitat

Pet Habitat is a pet store here in SM, Baguio city, Philippines. When people go there to look at the animals, they all think its cute and fuzzy and all. But they do not look closer to discover the truth.

The puppies are too young to be weaned. Who knows if they came from a puppy mill. Some of the fishes are kept in plastic cups or in small fishbowls with very little water; not much room to swim in and no oxygen. I don't know why they're separated from the aquarium. Turtles are kept in a small concrete cage with no water, stones, I don't even know if they're fed. I also saw a hamster with broken backleg limbs. Clearly, the employees do not care about the animals' welfare. There's probably no vet that takes a look at them once in a while.

Why make a petition against them? There was one time when me and my sister went there. We saw a dead rabbit in a class cage. There were live rabbits in the cage, too. Immediately, we told a worker that a rabbit had died. It had to be taken out of the cage. He listened. I stayed there waiting for him to do something. Guess what? He did absolutely nothing.

There was an elder lady that told them, too, that the pug puppy was shaking. The worker went to look, but did nothing.

I'm tired of going there every weekend to check on the animals. I'm letting my voice be heard, but no one's listening.  How can justice be done if people don't lend their ears and do something?
