spottychick Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Oh my god that's appalling.

lovemesideways Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Words don't describe.. I can understand you had kids with you and would not want to have them see something like that, good on you for calling the RSPCA!!! That is disgusting. Let us know how it goes, are you going back tomorrow to check the animals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugUrPup Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 Yep I'll go by tomorrow and have a look.. as long as they don't kick me out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all that glitters Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Ohhhh yep I sure think I know the place too... the filth and disgusting conditions there are ridiculous, how people can BUY from there (supporting them) beats me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerRottweiler Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 how people can BUY from there (supporting them) beats me Lack of education. People don't know that Pet shops can often be wrong and cruel, it isn't there fault (granted common sense would go a long way...) Too much $$$$ in pet shops for the Government to really care. As they say, money makes the world go round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I dont know the place you are talking about but surely they must get reported quite a bit if it's so bad. Dont they ever get fined, how come they haven't been shut down, I dont get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'd be calling the local council on the health aspects of the place - if it's that filthy, people could get sick too... ewww! T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karly101 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Is this a place in Springvale? Good on you for reporting...another way is also to report to the council on things like smell, cage sizes, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving my Oldies Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 It seems as though a few of you know this place. Can I suggest you ALL write separately to the Health Department and the Local Council and the RSPCA. It is only through joint efforts that anything will ever get done. These people must be made to stop the torture (because that is what it is) of animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laeral Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Poor animals. Why are some humans so damn idiotic! Makes me so mad. I went to fruit markets last weekend and couldn't walk any further because I heard puppies barking in small cages. What exactly do they think they call themselves. Glad you reported them. Thank you. Isn't it illegal to sell live animals at markets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmurps Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I know that one in Springvale. That place is sooo dirty. I reported one last year. It popped up out of the blue. It had 20 pups or more. All different mix breeds. It was winter, they were in cardboard boxes, front door was wide open, which opened out onto a main road. Whippet pups in full breeze huddled together shivering. She was talking to a customer, I yelled at her to keep the door shut, give the pups a blanket and I told her I was reporting her. So I raced home hope rang council, who put me onto Animal Welfare, the officer told me she was already going around as some else complained. They did an audit on her and she had 48 hours to fix the pens. The officer rang me back, and told me that she had complied-and there was nothing more she could do, and that she would keep an eye on her. She is still traiding This women doses her pups on scourban and lactaid. I get so mad driving past and seeing this weeks specials. Good luck with your report puggerpup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugUrPup Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 I remember seeing all sorts of live stock at markets when I was a kid. The pet shop isn't in Springvale for the person who asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenni87 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 That's great you reported them. I keep telling everyone I know if they see horrible things TELL SOMEONE to try and get it fixed, not come to me and whinge about it!! That's not helping anyone at all and just makes me mad! I really hope the RSPCA can/will do something - poor kittens, hopefully you'll all be cleaned up soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalia Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) I hate irresponsible pet shops, I recently walked past one of the biggest pet shop franchises around my area and they had American bull dog pups that had bloated stomachs (probably full of worms) and you could see their ribs, they were sooo under weight, I hate that franchise What suburb in Melbourne had the kittens in that sort of condition?

HugUrPup Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 There is only one pet shop in the suburb, so if I say, then I would basically be saying which pet shop it is. Could a moderator confirm if it is ok for me to post which pet shop it is please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could a moderator confirm if it is ok for me to post which pet shop it is please? PM Troy before naming. I think that he can be made liable for allowing businesses to be dissed but I am not sure. Best to check directly with him first. Good job on the reporting too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMolly Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 They were Ragdolls in one glass box covered in fleas that it looked like they were selling fleas and some cats somehow snuck in. One of the kittens was just laying there lifeless with fleas crawling all over her face In another glass box was a litter of short haired domestics (not sure if they were given an exotic label) and the kittens were so young they couldn't clean themselves and had dags and poo all over them and matted fur.. and they were SHORT haired and still matted around the bum and belly That is just disgusting.. Why would someone buy an animal in that sort of condtition? and I know the old the public are unaware line, but really if you can see fleas all over and kittens and they have matted fur and poo in them you would know something wasn't right.. Or do people walk around with, flea and poo blinkers on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGirl85 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Because they think they are "rescuing" it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugUrPup Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 No apparently, (this is what I heard the staff telling a customer) they aren't ready to go yet they have to be quarantined apparently. The kittens with fleas had just been treated, which wasn't good enough IMO, they were ill from the fleas, it was obvious, and they should have been having vet care not put back, fleas and all in to the glass box for customers. The other kittens she said needed a bath : anyone that knows cats, knows that kittens don't get baths unless they are taken from their mothers too young. Mother cats cleans their young until they are old enough to clean themselves. I will PM Troy about naming and shaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
