Votre perroquet mange du Kaytee? Sachez que Katee Pet Products est propriétaire de Preferred Birds (un élevage de Floride) qui fournit Petsmart, la plus grosse chaine d'animaleries aux États-Unis.
Selon son propre gérant des ventes, Preferred Birds vend cent mille oiseau par année à Petsmart. Selon d'autres sources, ce nombre serait beaucoup plus élevé. Petsmart vendrait plus de trois cent milles oiseau annuellement, toutes espèces confondus, pas que des perroquets. Selon d'autres sources, Petsmart vendrait neuf cent mille oiseaux par an. Quel est le vrai chiffre des perroquets qui viennent de chez Preferred Birds? Voulez-vous vraiment supporter un business qui a un parrot mill???
Je ne vous direz rien sur les conditions d'élevage des perroquets qui font partie de ce nombre ni de la façon dont on vend des perroquets non sevrés et malades. Je vous ai mis quelques lien mais autres ont disparus... Poursuites??? Ces grosses business là sont riches, c'est dispendieux de les combattre.
Anyways, Finissez vos sacs et n'achetez plus de produits Kaytee, c'est l'équivalent de manger du perroquet...
Voici le nouveau Plan de ^Preferred Birds, vous compendrez mieux le propos de Sally Blanchard;
Plans include picking up chicks from 4-5 weeks old by van from several breeders. No feeding will be done in the van. The parrots would be warehoused at a facility in Las Vegas with the intent of only keeping them for 14 days. The facility can house up to 3,000 birds. They would be fed a modified Kaytee handfeeding formula with the addition of prophylactic antibiotics. The birds will only be fed 2 times a day and the plan is to keep them at the facility for no more than 14 days before they go to a retail environment - most likely one of the large pet chain stores. An important question - will the stores educate their employees about the proper care, feeding, weaning, and socialization of parrot chicks?
De Sally Blanchard:
...After several conversations with people who contacted Kaytee, it is absolutely clear to me that Kaytee Preferred Birds is involved in the mass marketing of parrot chicks. I have been trying to education bird buyers and owners for years to avoid the purchase of production raised chicks. This corporate plan clearly involves the mass production of chicks for the pet market with, as far as I can tell, no consideration for early socialization. It is my opinion that there is absolutely no way that the vast majority of chicks raised in this manner will have positive, long-term pet potential. To me from all I have heard and read, Kaytee Preferred Birds is a drastic step backwards in the process of providing emotionally healthy parrots for the pet market...
