No offense guys, and I now this is a GERBIL mailing list, but what about all the
other poor animals in pet shops. Reality is that other animals besides gerbils get
neglected guys. Can we give a moment of sympathy to ALL abused animals, as well as
gerbils, but not excluding other pets as well.
Thanks
