Imagine a tiny beardie, sick and scared, sitting alone in a tank at a pet store. You see it, your heart aches, and you decide to “rescue” it. 💔
But here’s the truth no one talks about: the moment that little life leaves, another baby is brought in — another tiny dragon destined for the same neglect, the same struggle, the same heartbreak.
Quite often, it’s people with the best intentions who step in, but with little knowledge about proper care. Sadly, this can make things worse, leaving the dragon even more vulnerable.
“Rescuing” beardies from breeders or pet stores doesn’t save them — it just keeps the cycle going. Real change happens when we choose adoption, rescue, or ethical breeders who put animal welfare first. That’s how we give them a real chance at life. 🐉💛
*Edit*
We are not pointing the finger at all pet stores, some are amazing! It’s the ones who don’t do the right thing and get enabled by what we have written above.
