I love how animals are recommended to kids to teach them a sense of responsibility and compassion, yet petshops are full of cruel devices.

Please, think. Why would anyone think an animal enjoys getting stuffed and locked into a small ball? If they roll around in it it's most likely a sad attempt to escape. In ethical circumstances, the animal can choose freely when and if to use this thing. But it has a lid. And people close it. Trapping the animal inside a ball whether it wants to or not.

Not to mention many kids will love to use the ball as such.

Stop buying these. Stop selling them. There is no reason for these to exist. Take a regular wheel.or an ethical, ie. large cage. If you're gonna take the animal from its cage to exercise in that torture device, you may as well let it run around and explore.

PETS ARE NOT TOYS!!!
