Licences renewed for Pets at Home stores in Sheffield
 |
Two Pets at Home stores in Sheffield have had their licences renewed by Sheffield City Council despite objections on the grounds that fish were not being isolated for between 24 and 48 hours before they were sold.
A spokesperson for the company said: “Pets at Home is pleased to note that, at the meeting of Sheffield City Council’s licensing sub-committee held on Tuesday 29 April 2014, licenses were reissued for its two stores in Sheffield, overturning objections on the grounds that fish were not being isolated for between 24 and 48 hours before they were sold.
"The committee recognised that all Pets at Home stores operate with clear and specific procedures that have been developed in conjunction with an experienced freshwater and marine biologist and a leading aquatics vet and are based on the same independent OATA guidelines that are used by licensing authorities around the UK.
"This ensures our fish are not released for sale until they are showing normal behaviour.”
