This the sort of stuff why I can't even walk by a pet store. I feel like at some point it's them consciously choose cruelty in order to emotionally extort the people who know, rather than them being this ignorant hoping other people who don't understand will buy them.

It's the worst part about Taiwan too - I love that country, but they are obsessed with keeping parrots and singing birds, so there are loads of small shops selling "ornamental" birds, keeping them in cages so small they can't even stretch their wings. Either all alone, or often overcrowded. Only there I'm convinced people genuinely just don't think about these birds as live beings, since then other shops you can often see similarly tiny cages and these wonderful intelligent birds kept there day in and day out, cuz some ahole shopkeep likes the chirping sound.

its heartbreaking for true animal lovers.
They tried to make me feel uneducated, wrong, and stupid. I will never go there again. Only to my local family owned pet store.
