Hi guys- this will be a sad one. PETA just got some undercover footage of the state of suppliers that sell their pets to Petco and PetSmart. ***WATCH AT OWN RISK*** due to animal cruelty and death towards small animals. 

 

 

 

Here is a description if you don't want to watch: 

 

 

As such I have decided to buy my hamster supplies from outside sources such as independent pet shops (that do not sell live animals) or from online because of this. I just thought other people may also like to know.

Sorry, I had to remove the video.

 

Hamster Hideout forum asks that videos and talk about animal cruelty of any sort are not posted on the forum. Think of this - we aren't helping the animal in any way by watching it. It's just upsetting and some of the younger viewers (and older ones even) might be seriously disturbed afterwards. We don't need to give videos like this any extra views.

 

Thank you for understanding. I will go ahead and lock this topic now.
