On my website, you will find information about small animals, mostly the species I own as I do not feel I know enough about an animal I do not or have never owned myself.
I believe that small animals matter just as much as Cats and Dogs, and deserve the same amount of care and compassion, and I will be expressing this throughout my website, and will be posting about it regularly. I have come to realise that, unfortunately, some people just do not see small animals as being significant, they are just there and they're not really worth worrying about. This is wrong, and I want my soul purpose to be reinforcing the fact that all animals matter equally, and I will be dedicating my life to this, and hopefully rescuing unwanted small animals. I hope to breed small animals and sell them in my own pet store, run a charity for the care of small animals, and hopefully be able to reinforce my beliefs that small animals are not toys and they're not for small children to play with. The five animal welfare needs:
Need for a suitable environment
Need for a suitable diet
To be housed with or apart from other animals
To be protected from pain, suffering, injury and disease
To be able to exhibit normal behaviour patterns
These apply to all animals, not just to larger animals, and it is our duty to make them effective, but unfortunately, as I have mentioned before, to a lot of people small animals do not matter and are seen as insignificant. Many small animals are neglected and forced to live in tiny enclosures, and when they are sick, their owners fail to get them treated because it is cheaper to simply buy a new one than to pay the vet bills, and so the animal suffers, or worse, set free. This website is the beginning of my journey to protect small animals and help people to understand that they just as much animals as your dog or cat and they require the same or maybe more care depending on the animal than cats and dogs. I hope my website is found useful to you and will hopefully give more of an insight to the significance of small animals.
