Default Re: Posting threads some members may not wish to read

First of all sorry I'm not a regular poster on here, I do appreciate learning from other hamster owners by reading threads (and looking at the cute pictures!)

I posted a thread on here a while ago with links to an article about rodent farming. It may have been upsetting to some people as there were pictures of animals being kept in tiny cramped cages. The overall reaction was along the lines of 'oh thats horrible lets not think about it'. I was dissapointed as raising awareness of the conditions of animals bred for petshops could result in people buying from breeders instead and avoiding animals from petshops as buying them simply makes room for more and increases demand for farmed babies.
