It's awful and shouldn't be allowed. Poor things. I'm glad we don't have them here in the UK. Harrods have a pet store but it's all just show really. They have three or four puppies from time to time and the occasional cat but they're extremely expensive and are booked up weeks in advance. The people who buy them have to sign all sorts of contracts and stuff including breeding orders for some animals so really only the very committed can buy. And the very wealthy... when I was in there last, they had two Bengal cats... one for £2,000 and the other for £2,500 (about $5,500) (she was registered breeding stock so part of the condition for buying her was that she was sent out to breed occasionally) |
