In today's dog and cat news we see a disturbing article from our home town in Sydney - this Sydney Morning Herald article alerts the community that pet stores are offering cats, dogs and other species for sale on payment plans.Pets - Life & Style Home - smh.com.au
Unfortunately, animal campaigners do predict that this will lead to even more abandoned pets.
"Under the terms of the agreement, customers pay a 40 per cent deposit and the remainder over six months. They cannot bring the pet back or obtain a refund if it runs away or dies - nor are they entitled to compensation if the animal falls ill outside the 30-day "health guarantee".
Do you agree with this statement - "If a person can't afford the full cost of the animal in the first place, how are they going to afford the food, the upkeep and the vets' fees?"
We sure do!
Stay tuned for more dog and cat news soon.
