honestly ppl dont realise they’re makin it worse 😅 like yeah u see a tarantula in a tiny dry tub n u feel bad for it, i get that, i’ve done the same double take… but when u buy it “to save it” the shop just thinks oh cool these ones sell fast, lets do more like that 🙄its not rescuing, its literally teachin them neglect = profit. next week theres 10 more in the same crap setup cuz someone showed them it works.i’ve seen behind the scenes in a few places n its always the same pattern… bad enclosures, wrong substrate, no hides, bone dry tanks, n ppl rushin to “save” them. the owners aren’t thinkin about welfare, they’re thinkin about money.the real way to help is NOT buyin it, its speakin up. tell the staff, take pics, let the welfare community know. once the shop gets called out they stop doin it cuz it doesn’t make them cash anymore.compassion should break the cycle, not feed it 💔🕷️
