Hearing that Murdochs – a travel goods and apparel store in Galveston, Texas – sells hermit crabs during the tourist season (April through October), PETA asked the owner to adopt a policy that prohibits the sale and exhibition of live animals. but our fears seem to have been accidentally dismissed. Your help is needed now!
Lack of knowledge, resources, or desire to meet highly specialized livestock needs Of these animals, buyers often impulsively buy hermit crabs as “pets”. These complex creatures avoid human contact, travel in colonies of up to 100 people, and can live for up to 40 years, but in captivity they usually die between the ages of 1 and 4. Captured in nature (because they do not reproduce) in captivity), sold as cheap trinkets confined to small “habitats”, rude, malnourished and forgotten when newness wears off, they are doomed from the moment they are taken from home … In addition, PETA the study in a major supplier identified terrifying industry it pays off whenever hermit crabs are bought.
Join PETA to convince Murdochs owner James Little to do the right thing by not selling live animals at his store. Then share this warning with everyone you know!
