HI All
I was paying for my purchases this morning at the WPK in Wellington
Rd, Durbanville this morning when i glanced over to my left and almost
had a heart attack. On the shelf right in the middle of the shop,
visible for all to see are a selection of Gin Traps. Two different
sizes for the 'legs' and one that goes round the neck.
I spoke to the assistant Manager, Barry, and was told that they are
displaying in this way so that the farmers can see that they once
again stock these traps. Barry assured me that they do 'speak' to the
people purchasing these traps to verify if they are really farmers and
that their intentions are 'good'.
When i asked him if it would be possible to move these traps to a less
prominent place i was told that they would remain where they are and
that they would be moved to the medicine section for the weekend, and
then once again moved back to the front of house position for the
following week.
I know that i can't stop them selling these traps and i can't stop
people using them however i just feel that if they are so 'readily'
available whats to stop a member of the public getting one and using
it on the neighbours cat?? The death that these animals suffer because
of these traps must be horrendous, and for them to display these traps
so prominently is just in my opinion in bad taste.
I was told by Barry that i am welcome to take this matter further,
hence this email. Please could we all stand together and let this
store know that this is not acceptable. They cannot have these traps
displayed in this manner.
Please could everyone let this store know that this is not acceptable.
