This made me cry.....still am crying......
"A Tragedy By The Thousands"
Yes, there are breeder mills and an associate of mine has been to one. Gliders (more than one, sometimes whole families), were kept in cages that were 12 inches square, with a plastic cup, covered in urine, for them to sleep in. With the cup, there was really not much room left for them to do anything.
The food they were fed would fall through their cage onto the top of the cage stacked under it, and the keepers would scoop the food, mixed with feces that had fallen through and put it in a barrel and then feed it to the gliders.
Gliders had arrived by the hundreds in cardboard boxes. Gliders were dying in their hands. There were thousands of gliders here. This is a USDA licensed operation. Breeders buy from these "people."
It is horrific.
This is from Glider U, Read these and let me know if you'll sign an electronic petition banning glider mills. (link below)
They are beautiful creatures and don't deserve it! People let them loose in the wild and expect them to live (they are from the rainforest :'( )
IF YOU EVER SEE A SUGARGLIDER IN A PET STORE OR TRADE SHOW CALL ANIMAL CONTROL IMMEDIATELY! THEY BUY THESE FROM GLIDER MILLS (like the story above). FOR EVERY ONE YOU BUY< YOU SENTENCE FOUR MORE TO SUCH TREATMENT! They will die in a pet store.Click here to read more about this and PROTEST
