Is it a Rescue Flow Chart

Is It a Rescue?

2021-05-06
In: General
Tagged: adopt, adoption, hermit crabs, rescue or purchase, what is a rescue

written by Stacy Griffith and Rose Marie Senary Purchasing a hermit crab from a pet store is not a rescue. ANY purchase of wild caught hermit crabs feed the pet trade cycle and sentences more hermit crabs to the same terrible fate. By ignoring the fact that a pet store neglects the animals they sell and giving them your hard earned dollars, you are feeding the cycle. Corporate offices at major chains ignore the demands for better care because it would affect their bottom line.
