STOP THE SUFFERING
HAMSTERS FROM BREEDING MILLS CAN END UP IN PET STORES LIKE PETCO, PETSMART, & PETLAND
A new undercover investigation released by LCA exposes animal suffering at a hamster breeding mill. This mill breeds and sells tens of thousands of hamsters annually.
Mill hamsters are kept in small, overcrowded, soiled cages with minimal shavings for burrowing. Female and male hamsters are repeatedly used for breeding. Hamsters who are sick, injured, over-bred, and deemed ugly, are routinely killed.
Hamsters are sensitive and intelligent individuals with complex care needs, however, hamsters are commonly bought as “starter pets” for children. The hamster industry exists to supply mass numbers of animals to the consumer. SIMILAR TO THE PUPPY MILL INDUSTRY.
