Wyevale Garden Centre Shutting Down Pet Department!

[stang1]

The pet shop in Wyevale can no longer sell pets but I've heard nothing about the sale of fish being banned. We are not allowed to sell anything that is not truly aquatic in MA but that's all.

i really hope you guys are right!

So do I, I love my job!

I think Wyevale would use their heads and as Maidenhead and the other places are actually a separate identity there shoudl not be a problem. People are buying through Maidenhead and not Wyevale.

"So far, there is no announcement to phase out the sale of ornamental fish, by concessionaries operating within the company's stores. Animal Aid will be pressing Wyevale to stop these sales too. After all, fish are animals and are deserving of the same level of care and consideration."

Wyevale Garden Centre, which hosts Clearwater aquatics has announced no live animals to be allowed in it's stores or something like that. The wyevale near me, near tarporley is selling off things cheaply! Anyone else upset by this? Anyone heard any more info about it?

I was really upset to hear this this afternoon!

EDIT:

Turns out that wyevale have no plans to remove ornamental fish from their stores although animal aid are pressing them to do so. Please write to Animal Aid and Wyevale to protest this!

Hey everyone,

I emailed them and Wyevale are stopping the sale of domestic live animals, but not fish!

Yey!

 

[Gill]

Here's the response that i got last night

Thank you for your email.



You are correct in that Wyevale have put in place a policy to stop selling domestic live animals. I can advise that our concession stores will continue to sell fish and have no plans to stop. Fish live in a carefully controlled environment and we ensure that this is as stress free as possible for them.



I hope this information has been useful.



Please do not hesitate to contact me again should you require any further assistance.

I got the same response, Gill.
Thanks for emailing them!
