Shopping
centres can be a great place to relax, unwind and maybe indulge in yourself
whilst you casually window shop amongst the inviting stores.
You
can get a coffee and doughnut at Donut King, splash out on a new dress at Myer,
get your groceries, and if you’re feeling impulsive enough, buy a puppy!
Pet
stores inside shopping centres have existed for far too long and have no need
to exist within our society. The animals are put on display inside a stuffed
box filled with shredded paper and a glass window, where potential buyers peer
at them constantly.
Owning
a pet is a major responsibility and one that must be taken seriously and not
decided on a whim. We are in a wasteful society, and sadly animals are a part
of this culture. Abolishing pet stories within shopping centres and complexes
is the right thing to do; the humane thing to do.
Pet
stores should be encouraged to have their own property where the animals can
run freely in the open sun while they wait for a new owner.
Stores like those, the RSPCA and certified private breeders should be the only
place that you consider buying a pet from.
