Very concerned here..... It seems Carrefour now have "Pet Corners" in most of their branches....

I was at the Wangsa Maju Branch on Monday, not Tuesday as mentioned in another thread and I felt disgusted, sad and angry at the same time.

What I saw:

There was a cage with 2 bunnies, they looked like 1 month old or 6 weeks old rabbits. 1 was dead while another still alive. I alerted the staff that was responsible for the pets corner, she just smiled.... then I overheard her say to another that she is afraid to touch it.

There were 2 tanks of snakes but what shocked me was that the bronze back snakes were in a filthy tank that was so black and disgusting. There were 2 snakes but did not move. I tap the tank and looked closely, to realize that both snakes were dead! Dehydrated, with dead dried up frogs inside. The snakes died from poor tank set up. A rainbow water snake in another tank had only 3mm of water in the tank, the snake was belly up already, means dead.... yet the staff still displayed the tanks as if nothing was wrong....

Hedgehog, it was a tiny albino.... looks like it is either malnourished or not even weaned since so tiny. The water bowl and food bowl were empty. Hedgehogs are nocturnal but this one was walking up and down in search of food and water.

The hamsters were in dirty bedding.... it looked very unhealthy and some of them were injured from fighting.... I think there was no food either, I am not sure if I saw any water source for them or not.

What was the staff doing? She was just rearranging some of the food stuff on display. Then later just sat on her chair, waiting for customers.... I can't believe so many animals died and she still didn't do anything.

I left and went back about 15 minutes later, saw that the dead bunny was taken away but the one that was alive was also taken away. Where did it go? Why.... it was placed into a tiny white plastic basket with the dead body!!! How sick is that?

Anyway, my point is that I think Carrefour should not sell pets as most of the pets end up dying from lack of care. Also, who knows, maybe one of the animals may carry an airborne disease or bacteria... it can affect people who are sensitive or allergic.....

Have you guys seen a similar thing in other Carrefours? I now feel guilty for supporting them earlier coz I got my guinea pig from there.... anyway, do share and give your opinions if you have any.

AH. This is disgusted. They shldnt even open a pet corner since they were meant to be hypermarkets.
possible to sue them? Its been quite a time i'd been to carrefour.. i didnt know about this. sorry,Cant help.

i din know that carrefour has their own pets corner..
will check it out in midvalley's carrefour after i go bac to KL..
sigh.

Hun i heard one of my friend that kepong @ carefour got open pet shop also , i think is '' Pet corner '' too
sounds scary when i see this thread , so irreponsible pet shop....thanks for telling us , so can aware buying pet from this pet shop

in kepong oso wanna open eh??/ hope they choose a good shopkeeper ahhh...

and the picture of the shopkeeper and quote that she was afraid to touch it...

omg! I went to carrefour lately and does't realized that the animals are dead! Lucky Hun saw it and told us.

So pity all the animals there. Some complaints need to be made to the management. Carrefour is a foreign hypermarket and this should'nt happened here. Hope they will change it later. *sigh*

yeah ...heard one of my friend told me that the kepong @ carefour open one pet shop too..
and he say nothing special there but selling lots of cat / kitten ...not very sure about that too...
Hope the shopkepper will be good and not a irreponsible person then ...(enough for killing pet...)

need to check the Carefour...

not oni killing 1 pet..

zz..

mayb we should really write something to da local newspapers. they shouldnt be selling food 2gether with animals.
is the section in carrefour where they sell groceries, or its outside, like tesco outlets?

Its inside ler i think.. @#$#@$! how can like that de..
