Hi admins, I am not sure who to report this to anymore- please let my story go through. I need help getting a story out.

I came across this pet shop at Yishun Central and was shocked to see the conditions of the rabbits.

3 rabbits were kept in a small enclosure with barely any space to move. This might lead to breeding or aggression issues where the rabbits might fight each other. On one of the signs it was stated that the owner DID NOT KNOW if the rabbits were male or female which made it alot worse as this might lead to unintentional illegal breeding. I’ve approached the owner to ask the gender of one of the rabbits and he said he THINKS it’s female, which means he is not sure (lol?).

After I posted this on instagram, a follower said a few months back she walked past this same shop and saw some rabbits that were probably over 4-5 mths of age. They had multiple sore bald spots on their body due to space constraint and aggression.

So far from what I observed, there wasn’t any hay from 12noon till 4pm (hay should be given in unlimited amounts for rabbits to prevent dental issues in future).

The conditions of this is made known to SPCA and AVS, but it seems like nothing is being done. AVS’ reply is simply that they “found the the animals to be active and alert, with sufficient space to lie down, stretch and exercise”, which is really not the case.

For those living near the area, I urge you to check it out yourselves – be careful though, owner appears defensive and has not allowed viewing of the rabbits unless you are there to buy – the first thing the owner will ask is “see or buy rabbits?”. If you say “see”, he will chase you away.

Full disclosure: I am not a supporter of pet stores in general, but this is a whole other level.
