Some four years ago, I bought my rabbit from this aquarium at bukit timah. It was then housed in a very harsh condition; the cage was rusty and filthy, and the food they feed are not the best for rabbits. I suspected that the rabbit was way underage to be sold (between 1 to 2 months). Thus I decided to buy it. The next thing I realised was the rabbit could not stop scratching itself, and at the same time I kept on sneezing and scatching when I handle her (I have multiple allergies). So we brought her to the vet.NO NO NO
Don't think you are saving them by buying them out. It will only lead to more animals being bred & put through the same. Don't support them, let the shops die out.
Take pictures & evidence, call Spca, file report, create awareness, write proper letters to the authorities requesting for a written reply on the matter. Usually they have to at least respond. If enough people do it, they will be forced to look into the matter seriously.

It was there that I realise that the poor little rabbit had fungus infection and fur mites. The doctor was quite apprehensive about using frontline (if i didn't remember wrongly) on her because she was too young and small, even the slightest bit of it might put her life at risk. Thus we used a spray on medication that took a longer time to rid her of mites. The fungus infection never really got cured until two years later.
Then I started wondering if I didn't buy the rabbit and were to contact AVA instead, will they put the rabbit to sleep because it was deemed to be sick? I believe AVA will most probably not save the animals and put them up for adoption; I never heard of such kind acts before.
