“Humanity’s true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals.”

Milan Kundera
The Unbearable Lightness of Being, 1984

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated "
 Mahatma Gandhi

a PETA US investigator went undercover at a massive international animal wholesale warehouse in Arlington, Texas, called US Global Exotics (USGE), which is one of the  top dealers in animals sold in pet shops. USGE ships mammals, reptiles, amphibians, arachnids and other species all over the world, including to UK-based companies Coast to Coast Exotics, Peregrine Livefoods Ltd and PM Aquatic Imports. From there, they no doubt end up in pet shops in numerous towns.


Look at the slide show that shows many suffering animals, including 3 slides of African Pigmy Hedeghogs in terrible state with bitten & missing limbs

The pet trade means suffering and death for animals. The most important step any of us can take is never to buy companion animals from breeders or suppliers. No animal is safe from the drive for profit, but those traded internationally to supply the demand for "exotics" are especially at risk. US Global Exotics supplied live animals to pet traders right here in the UK. Please immediately join us in asking the British government to prohibit the import of live animals for the pet trade and end the sale of all exotic animals as "pets".

Sign the petition asking the UK government to ban all imports of live animals for the pet trade
