Is "all very confusing" the shopkeeper or something? Although the film doesn't show the assault in clear hi-definition detail for your pleasure (not trivial to do when you are being beaten up), there quite obviously is a fracas of some sort. I can easily believe animal abusers are capable of abusing kids too, it is a well-documented link. It sounds very reasonable that the voice could be a 15-year-old.

Sounds like some pet shop owner is shitting themselves, and rightly so.

Animals should be living free and wild, not bred or captured for people's amusement.

Wouldn't like to be a creature in their shop! If you open a shop, you come under public scrutiny. What's the difference in fifty people coming in to look or one person filming and allowing 49 others to see it too?
Well done camera activist.

that kid reminds me of typical star trek/world of warcraft geeks who are really annoying.
yeah pet shops always seem to constantly run by chav psycos, but the that geek kid needs a slap.

"ok i will leave, will you just stop saying leave?" haha what a prick.

You seem to be rather too familiar with Star Trek and WoW culture... I'm not sure how inspecting a pet shop has anything at all to do with being a geek?

As for not leaving immediately - it's called putting animal abusers under pressure and letting them know people are looking out for the animals.

I would be careful about advocating violence - you can never be too careful in this day and age when people joking about rioting get locked up for years. What if I said people who traffic in live animals need a good slap for the suffering they are responsible for?

The current fad for "exotic" animals leads to hideous suffering - people buy them on a whim and then get bored with all the upkeep, or else can't afford all the heating and other stuff you need. Not to mention the wild-caught ones that die in shipping. Well hopefully this fad will be over soon and places like this will go bust (or at least stop selling animals).

You don't have the right to film if you are asked to stop and leave then you leave, simple. You can be removed by force if you refuse.

Not impressed.
