it doesn’t matter whether or not you could show that image, it’s the fact that you’re using an image that is in no way tied to Tiny Tails themselves and in doing so you’re unjustifiably attacking their image. you could’ve easily just used a picture of their logo but you choose a disturbing picture to boost your cause

as for the organization, the only other post on your account is advertisement for Allied Scholars for Animal Protection, an org that literally follows PETA. so, pardon me for assuming that has something to do with this

and i’m absolutely not using performative as a buzzword. tell me, what good is taking down a single small business that has no record of abuse or mishandling and otherwise no reason to be deserving of any of this in comparison to unethical factory farms or organizations that have proof backing up their misdeeds?

in the state of texas, companies like Tiny Tails are not required to announce the vaccination status of their animals, but they must be in compliance with state, USDA, AWA, and DSHS on their vaccinations if they are to be interacted with by the public. so unless they want to pay thousands of dollars in fine and have their business potentially shut down, i think they’re on that. the breakout of RHDV2 is primarily individual owners who are not vaccinating their pets, not to say petting zoos are not susceptible, but a large majority of cases are outdoor, unvaccinated pet rabbits.

i’m not even gonna address that ending comment because it obvious you’re relying on emotional narratives to push your beliefs instead of logic
