Its a sad fact we humans like to use and abuse what we have to hand. Its in our very nature and takes some serious education to break free from this. Unfortunately there are always people who dont want to listen. Then for things like this, its down to people who care and know about animals to fight for legislation to remove or change these products.
Its great keeping animals, but these style of products over simplify the care of a living creature. We are their gods, yet to the people who buy they, they know little of the basic needs.
It just shows the lack of care at the table of ideas in these type of companies. I bet you, they are not animal people.
I spent years working in Chester zoo, and I know it takes little time to learn the basic needs of any living thing.
Its lazy and wrong!
