Petco, one of America's largest pet retailers, is starting the sale of rabbits within their stores. These animals often live in poor conditions and face several potential health risks, including malnutrition. Rabbits are almost all of the time impulse buys, when bought in pet stores. They also commonly suffer from stress, due to their conditions and the constant interaction with humans. Rabbits are not merchandise; they are sentient beings deserving of care and respect. Rabbits are the third most abandoned pet in the United States, as reported by the Humane Society. By selling rabbits, Petco indirectly contributes to this pet abandonment issue. We call upon Petco to take a stance on animal welfare, lead by example, and cease the sale of rabbits in their stores. Act now and sign this petition to show your support for stopping the sale of rabbits at Petco. All the local rescues are full to the brim with rabbits and receive 10-20 surrender requests a day with each request ranging from 1-20 rabbits. We need to do better for these poor rabbits.
