Another person wrote the government needed to put a stop to the situation.
‘Stop selling animals in pet shops is the first thing that needs to happen in my eyes and to limit breeders to a certain amount also to stop all farming of animals,’ they said.
‘I can’t believe how much of this I am seeing on social media where humans are so disgusting to do such a thing to poor defensiveness animals and babies. It makes me angry and sick to see.’
