Also, petshops in England don't sell to under 16's. I'm not sure if thats the case in America?
And once not to long ago I was in pets at home buying some bedding, and I took my young neighbour with me, who is 3. I let him stand by the rabbit enclosure and 'talk to the bunny wabbits' ..
Not long after a shop assistant came up to us and told me that she does'nt think I should buy my son (LOL! How old do you think I am) A rabbit as they don't make good childrens pets. I started to tell her how I was'nt going to be purchasing a rabbit, and she just carried on and told me no small animals are great for children.
Then she ran off and come back with a bag full of animal care leaflets .. of every kind!
I was'nt even remotly interested in buying a pet, and she still put in the extra effort to make sure an animal would'nt be going to an unsuitable home.
I've also seen people being refused pets .. 3 young men who wanted to buy a hamster weren't sold one, because they did'nt look trustworthy.
