Smile Why does the UK have so many amazing hamster shows and breeders?

I'm currently looking for hamsters to rescue in my area but I live in the United States and I can't even find any advertisements online in my area for accidental hamster litters. All of the pet store chains get their animals from mills which is disgusting. I notice though that the UK has hamster shows and breeders that have the most gorgeous hamsters. In the states hamsters are just seen as toys for kids that live in colorful tubes and plastic balls.

I imagine a large part is that we're so much smaller. I think in the US it's so difficult to travel to other areas conveniently that it prohibits how people get together really. And the added restrictions In some states on certain species makes it hard too. It must be very frustrating.

I've heard in the US in petsmart and petco you can occasionally find adoptable hamsters in the back of the stores because they have either been returned or have a disability. As these hamsters hamsters are free of charge to get you are not supplying these horrid mills with money as that is all they want
