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.

The Judge has acquired several pets in similar situations. Apart from the head-wound - that's just plain disturbing. Poor thing. Don't suppose you want it? They're adorable pets once they get used to you.
