Shop keeper can't guarantee it cos they don't even care as what they want is only money. With you buying bulk from them and sell to everyone is just helping them in their business and let them know that there's market and they'll breed and breed without quality and even inbreed the hamsters even though they are not suitable and young, therefore this will shorten the lifespan of these hamsters due to all these demand. I do not mean that I wanna stop people from learning but these people do not need to learn by making mistake and they can learn from other people even from other's mistakes. Of cos I can't stop everyone from SELLING hamsters but what I can do is STOP encourage those people from selling by not buying from them. I'm not slandering you of killing those hamsters directly with your hand, but by doing what's in your mind to make profit out of that will help killing hamsters and make hamsters suffer indirectly if they ended up in people who don't care a you also can't guarantee they will go to good home. As for your buyers, they will not get good quality hamsters or even healthy hamsters as pet shops won't care for what they sell. They just wanna sold them off even they are sick and injured and telling people that's fine or that's normal. As you said, you are still learning. Can you provide advise and sufficient info for your buyers on how to take good care, how to tame and how to rule out the hamster's health and what to do when the hamster is not well or sick? This are just basic for all hamsters owner if you wanna be a good owner. And how about keeping 2 in a cage and keeping in pairs? What would you advise to your buyers? What are the basic necessaries for hamsters? All these are questions and considerations before you get a pet if you do care for animals. If you don't, then nothing better or need to say. If there's law or guidelines to protect for all these small animals, that would be the best for all the small animals and I'm sure we'll also get benefits on getting good quality animals here. But sad to say, our country do not care about them. No guideline or law doesn't mean we can do anything. Ethics is from our heart and not only the legal laws. I'm not mean to flame at you or anyone else, if you do feel so, my apologies.

I just hope that you'll think about all the above as small animal is a life too and they deserved to have good life too. I just can't see animals to get suffer or bad treatments and it will make people heart broken.
Added on September 1, 2008, 12:16 pmGreat to hear that, at least I know you are not one of the unethical person for animals now.

1. Where did you get your hamster from?
2. If leaving the present hamsters as they are, in the care of your generalized stereotyped shop keepers who will "breed and breed without quality and even inbreed the hamsters even though they are not suitable and young", is their life going to be much better where they stay right now?
3. "but these people(i presumed the shopkeepers) do not need to learn by making mistake and they can learn from other people(who?) even from other's mistakes." <--- which is what mistakes and who is this "other people" and why are these other allowed to have mistakes and they have to learn from them?
4. "I'm not slandering you of killing those hamsters directly with your hand" <-- still slandering nonetheless
5. "but by doing what's in your mind to make profit out of that will help killing hamsters and make hamsters suffer indirectly
IF they ended up in people who don't care a you also can't guarantee they will go to good home." <--- there you go with the IF add with a negative statement, what IF they go to a good home? and as aforementioned what IF they still stay with the stereotyped generalized SHOPKEEPER(wouldnt that be more sufferable)?
6. "they will not get good quality hamsters or even healthy hamsters as pet shops won't care for what they sell." <-- Ahh good old stereotyping again, by the way how do you measure the quality of the hamsters again?
7. "They just wanna sold them off even they are sick and injured and telling people that's fine or that's normal." <-- so we should just let them be in the shop with the stereotyped eviilll business minded shopkeeper since they are sick and injured and forgo their chance or hope to find them a better a home?
8. " Can you provide advise and sufficient info for your buyers on how to take good care, how to tame and how to rule out the hamster's health and what to do when the hamster is not well or sick? This are just basic for all hamsters owner if you wanna be a good owner. And how about keeping 2 in a cage and keeping in pairs? What would you advise to your buyers? What are the basic necessaries for hamsters? All these are questions and considerations before you get a pet if you do care for animals." <-- basic yet complex as u listed them but as i say, it can be learned and can be taught, i should keep this in mind ^_^
9. "If you don't, then nothing better or need to say." <-- then better not say, isnt that what Malaysian does best

10. "If there's law or guidelines to protect for all these small animals, that would be the best for all the small animals and I'm sure we'll also get benefits on getting good quality animals here. But sad to say, our country do not care about them." <-- Agreed that is why we are doing something just that you have your way and i have my way.
11. "No guideline or law doesn't mean we can do anything. Ethics is from our heart and not only the legal laws." <-- I do understand that ETHICS are more to CIVIL

. You post this directly as in i do not know what or what not to do as a human with a conscience. Ethics not only from the heart but from the brain as well

12. "I'm not mean to flame at you or anyone else, if you do feel so, my apologies. " <-- yea i do feel so after you indirectly slander me right as above? how contradicting

but apologies taken anyway since arguments like this only.... ok nvm, i think you know wat would conclude in the end

13. "I just hope that you'll think about all the above as small animal is a life too and they deserved to have good life too. I just can't see animals to get suffer or bad treatments and it will make people heart broken." <-- oo yea for this sentence, i would like to say I just got back buying 25 Winter Whites from being python food for the shopkeepers in the next 3 days, and also SAVED them from their dirty cages and from the shopkeeper to "breed and breed without quality and even inbreed the hamsters even though they are not suitable and young, therefore this will shorten the lifespan of these hamsters", plus i do think of everything that you've written above ^_^, I'll always keep that in mind.
Afterall, this argument won't create a solution for the poor present hamsters if everything is just a say. At least I'm doing something practical helping them than sitting around fighting over the net. DIVAAAA~! I think we need to be more on the positive side on things rather than seeing everything in a negative light.
