We are concerned about the welfare of the animals sold in Carrefour. I don't think someone would want to waste their time posting dumb rumours just to excite ppl or whatever else. You want proof? Go to any large branch of carrefour and look for yourself. I've been to the one in Sri Petaling, though there were no dead animals, there were only rabbits and hamsters there. Didn't get a good look at the hamsters, but there were no food or/and water given to them, they were all huddled in the corner and panting heavily though in an airconditioned area. The ppl working there don't care bout the animals, so we SHOULD do something like raise awareness, like what we're doing now. Other forumers are also stating that they've witnessed this cruelty happening in other branches. Still want proof?

Plus, I don't think they would want us customers taking pictures of their stuff.

I know we can't really blame the workers as the are stationed there by schedule and probably not by their choice, but the management of Carrefour should have considered hiring someone with the experience and basic knowledge on caring for the animals when they decided to have animals sold there. Better pay a little more for an experienced person than risk ruining their reputation. But since they don't think that way, the latter is bound to happen.

If it's a shiny hamster, it's called satin. It's a gene that makes the hair more sparse and thin, so more light reflected, hence making it shiny.

Hmm... Any ideas on how to solve this? If complain only I don't think they will care. They probably make more money from impulsive buyers who don't know anything. Have to raise more awareness to ppl that also don't frequent the forum, as carrefour has A LOT of customers that don't use internet.

Went to the one in Midvalley. So sad to see 7 rabbits crammed in a 1ft+ by 2ft+. No space until 2 had to sit in their food bowl. The hamsters looked too young and not healthy, can barely see the RES in the tank as it was crowded with decorative stuff and the glass was fogged up.

Such a sad thing to see. I don't know how long they are going to keep this up, really hope they stop this soon.

I heard the one in Wangsa Maju closed recently. They could have decided it wasn't a good idea or maybe responded to the letters and closed it in their other chain stores too.
