When I was at my local pet shop today to get rat food, I saw they had a rat for sale.

It was in a much too small cage, alone, which means IF it gets purchased it will probably be kept alone and be miserable because of it.

It was also almost adult, which means it'll have a very slim chance of getting purchased in the first place because it's not small and cute anymore, and it'll be returned to the breeder who will kill it or breed the fuck out of it in equally dismal surroundings.

To top it all off it had a gaping headwound! I left the shop horrified and vowed never to spend another penny there.

I really feel this sort of pet trade should be forbidden.
