The general public in Japan doesn’t care about the conditions that pets live in. Many people don’t see pets as living things with feelings but as an accessory for them.
But some are fighting for better rights for animals, which is a good thing. In the meantime, don’t go to pet shops or pet cafes unless they’re supporting rescues.
Maybe I’m being dumb here
I know that for a fact there are still puppy farms in the UK but they are just done in people’s houses and then sold for cash to anyone who would wants to pay a couple hundred quid for them. There’s no guarantee of their condition and no promise they are going to a good home.
I don’t know about “mainland” Europe but I would say those puppy farms are worse than Japanese pet shops. Though of course not great.
Can we please get this pinned.
I wish this story was posted everyday.
I would pay money to try and get this story seen by more people.
How about all those dumb “cafes” too.
Owl cafe, otter cafe, fennec fox cafe…
It’s disgraceful.
This is a problem all over Asia. It’s changing but it’s a very slow process.
Animal welfare is extremely far down the list of concerns or priorities for the majority of the Japanese population.
Unfortunately, Japanese don’t really care about pet shop conditions or animal rights. Pretty much everyone I know (I’m Japanese) bought their pet from a pet shop.
My American friend once got emotional about this and started throwing insults to my Japanese friend, but this is the worst way to try to convince someone in Japan
