Yes its fantastic that you are prepaired to rescue these animals I have no doubt, but why was nothing said at the time so that some thing could have been done there and then. By the way the Lanark sales will be no better, There will be birds of low quality for sale with god knows what wrong with them and people will buy them and the breeders- traders will have more for sale at the next sale and on and on. All these auctions cover them self by saying than its the responsability of the vendor for the condition and welfare of there birds. I never said anything about shitty conditions your words not mine are you saying that conditions at the sale were shitty. Incensed you may be but I cant see the point in perpetuating the trade of a few who don't care as much as you obviously do, Have you ever thought that you are playing right into these peoples hands buy buying there stock. The best of luck with your letter and a wee note to the SSPCA would not go amiss maybe there presence at a few of these sale will make a difference, but I must say this has all been done before and made no difference at all.
