NEW UPDATED PETITION
WEST PACK LIFESTYLE GOES BACK ON THEIR WORD
Earlier this year this petition was started to urge Petzone not to sell animals in their stores after some rabbits were seen at one of their branches. See original petition here:
After so many South Africans came together with an outpouring of disappointment Petzone (a subsidiary of the West Pack Lifestyle Group) posted this statement on their facebook page:

Petzone made it clear that the concerns of the public is taken very seriously and that: "All critters currently in our Petzone Bel Air branch will fostered by Petzone management and we will work closely with local animal shelters to rehome them." They also said they will have plans in allignment with reputable shelters, rescue centres and the hosting of in-store adoption drives were also mentioned.
BUT THEY LIED.
Thus it is extremely alarming to discover rows upon rows of new tanks and cages have been set up at Petzone's store in Alberton, where it was confirmed by an employee that they would be selling animals in store from May.
Petzone has not only decided to sell animals and exploit them, but blatantly lied to the public. They said what the public wanted to hear and 4 months later we see new plans to sell animals at their Alberton branch.
I am urging every person that signs my petition to add a comment regarding why this is such upsetting and dissapointing news.
Please we urge you Petzone, once again, to re-evaluate your decision and choose not to sell live animals in your stores. If not, you will no doubt lose the support of all animal lovers.
