What a weak and idiotic thing to say in order to justify selling rabbits!

This line in particular makes me want to slap her upside the head.....what a weak and idiotic thing to say in order to justify selling rabbits!!!!

A company spokeswoman was quoted as saying, “We certainly don’t doubt that there are rabbits in shelters that need homes, but we also know that there are people seeking pets that have been bred and want to have that pet from the start.”

PetSmart Rabbit Sales - Last week the Arizona Republic and the Green Bay Press ran articles about the move by PetSmart to sell rabbits. Petsmart has “begun breeding and test selling dwarf rabbits.” A company spokeswoman was quoted as saying, “We certainly don’t doubt that there are rabbits in shelters that need homes, but we also know that there are people seeking pets that have been bred and want to have that pet from the start.” The article goes on to say “rabbit sales began the week of July 9 and are placed in 25 stores nationwide. That number could expand to a maximum of 40 stores.”
