Honestly, I didn't, as I'm not sure if a blanket ban is the answer. Tighter controls and regulations could be a better solution, so that the 'good' pet shops don't get penalised for someone else's failings.

I don't know enough about it if I'm honest, so don't feel I can sign a petition, but just wanted to share our experience with Effie as it was topical.
