Thank you Lee & Scott.

Lee - We will take on board all that you have said. I'm afraid putting up notices was very low on our list of priorities. Your right in saying that it would have probably have helped though. Regular customers were very aware of our situation.

We have only 1/8 of our original Fish stock left. We practically gave them away. Fish are not moved from one place to another at short notice easily. Tanks need to be set up and left to settle etc. We had a fair number of large KOI that were worth between £500 - £1200 per fish! We had no where to put them. A fair number of large display tanks that could not be simply picked up and carried out. We had just 2-3 weeks to find a new premise and then 1 day in which to move everything out.

I shouldn't have to air our private Business problems on here like this. We have been pushed into a corner and if we try to ignore explaining certain things we are judged by people who don't know all the facts.

I refuse to listen to Kelly mentioning how her phone call to the RSPCA worked. The RSPCA are useless in some situations. We are very bitter about what happened and how they refused to help us when animals lives depended on them the most.

The other problems that have been mentioned that are separate from the change of premise issue are being sorted as quick as is humanly possible.

We will get the shop running to a high standard and are not ignoring advice being handed out.

I think we deserve a chance to get things in order. There is no evidence that we are simply neglecting things and refusing to put things right.

I think holding an open day in the future is a good idea too.

Sarah

the RSPCA now seem to be less of an animal welfare charity and more of a campaigning political organisation aimed at pushing their (narrow) view of how humans should interact with animals.
And as Scott says, they are very good at it

Sarah-

Kelly - Yes I said that we left of our own free will. That still stands as being the truth. We had decided we were going to move out due to the landlord making things difficult for us. For example suddenly deciding that no more than 2 customers were allowed to use the car park at any one time. Many, many other more serious problems too (nothing to do with financing, the rent where we are now is more than double what it was). He got nasty when he got wind that we were thinking of going. Which resulted in us having to get a temporary injunction put on him so he would leave us alone long enough to find somewhere else and get out before it was lifted. We needed a police escort many mornings just to get into the building. I haven't the time to write out complete essays on every little detail because you want everything explained so your imagination doesn't run wild.

Please read the announcement at the top of this section! It does ask you to only state fact not write what you think is fact. Your posts are full of presumptions.

Some animals on display are not always up for sale at that moment in time, yes I admit they were not labeled, our mistake. Its not an excuse.

I am not going to put up any more pictures just to satisfy you. You have been told by me and others that species have been separated.

With regards to you coming into our shop again at a later date I think that our answer would have to be to ask you to please stay well away.

If you wish to keep making more posts about demands for more pictures or want your specific questions answered please continue but I am no longer going to answer them. Enough is enough. This would go on forever if I keep on replying to you.

Sarah

I gave my opinion of your shop thats all and you got ratty a

I the only things I presumed were the circumstances of your leave. I presumed you got kicked out because of lease prices doubling or your landlord got nasty and yourve just proved me right.Im only repeating what Lisa told me herself about you having to leave and leave the animals locked up for a few days.

This thread got very boring a long while back! In my opinion pretty fair explanations have been given regarding the amount of time the new business has been running and the difficulties involved with the hand over.

I really don`t think that it is worth dragging it on any further. Sarah has taken on board advice regarding substrates, species mixing etc. She has also agreed to an open day when things are running smoothly which I feel is fair enough. It`s all too easy to aportion blame in a situation like this (a changeover). I have never visited the premises concerned and do not know Sarah from Adam so my opinion has purely come about by reading the thread and the various accusations and responses.

I fully appreciate that seeing animals in poor condition can stimulate emotions. At this stage in the proceedings however I think that enough has been said and that we should perhaps review the situation in a Months time or whenever the open day that Sarah has agreed to is scheduled.

here here peter, but curiosity did get the better of me so i decided to have a drive and take a look for myself and to put it bluntly, i thought it was OK.

I am no expert on all reps but in general the overall condition of the vivs were petty good and substrate was clean and tidy with fresh food and water.

Just my views and though i would share but I am sure someone will shout me down Wink
