Agreed 100%.after all if the cat/kitten is human baby,would you sell your baby or give to the loving family who can give TLC and good home for your baby?? think abt it.

I went to the pet shop this afternoon to buy my cat food, I saw one female siamese kitten for sale at RM480.I was looking at the kitten from the glass panel and suddenly I realised the kitten got 'red eye' indicating she is sick. I purposedly pointed it out to the sales girl loudly so that the customers in the shop can hear me. Quickly the took the kitten out from the cage and I pointed the eyes. 'Ini kucing mata merah.sakitlah dia.u all tak checkkah??' so happened that one family consist of bapa,ibu and anak was looking around at the other cat for sale. They were very angry with the shop for not taking care of the cats they are selling.They said to the sales girls,'ini kucing punya kandang pun byk kotor. u all tak kasih bersihkah?? klu u all nak ke tinggal kat tempat kotor?? ayoh!! I created a domino effect.satu kedai suma marah just because I pointed out abt the sick kitten.I was very sure those people are the genuine cat lovers and care abt the well being cat/kitten for sale in the pet shop. anyway,this is a good lesson for whoever run this pet shop.
