Nowadays, there are many families who want to keep pets, but when buying pets, you should pay attention to whether the pet you buy is healthy, has any problems with it, and whether the pet you buy is the breed you want. If you really don’t know how to choose a pet, it’s best to find a knowledgeable person for help, otherwise you will easily be deceived.

    In May 2015, citizen Xiao Li bought an expensive cat for 4,000 yuan from a pet shop near Xinjiekou, and planned to go home to raise it. The kitten is very beautiful, and Xiao Li likes it very much. When he bought the cat at the pet store, the kitten was lively and healthy. However, after Xiao Li took the cat home and raised it, the kitten became languid and sick all the time. Xiao Li didn't know how to take care of the kitten. He spent a lot of money to see a doctor in a pet hospital, but the kitten's condition didn't get better. Xiao Li felt that he had been cheated, so he took the cat to the pet shop. The owner, Chen, saw that the cat was sick and initially agreed to help treat it. However, after many treatments at the pet shop, the kitten's disease had not improved. Therefore, Xiao Li asked for a refund, but the store owner Chen said that when he sold the cat, the cat was very healthy. Li took it home and raised it before problems appeared. He had helped treat it many times. He had done his best and could not refund the cat. The two negotiated for a long time but could not reach an agreement. Xiao Li felt that Chen was deliberately deceiving him. Seeing that Chen refused to refund the money, he started to smash into Chen's pet store and broke one of Chen's electric fans. He called the police to solve the problem.

    After calling the police, the dispute between the two was mediated by the Xinjiekou Mediation Committee. After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, the mediator pointed out that both parties had problems. The pet shop owner, Chen, sells pets, which are special commodities. If the kitten gets sick after selling it, he must be responsible. No matter what, Xiao Li shouldn't smash up other people's pet stores. In the end, after patient mediation by the mediator, Chen refunded Xiao Li's 2,000 yuan purchase price for the cat, took the kitten back, and repaired the electric fan himself. The matter was dealt with in one go. But Xiao Li didn't get the pet he wanted, and he lost a lot of time and ruined his mood. This was also a lesson for Xiao Li. The mediator also advised Xiao Li to find a trustworthy merchant when buying pets in the future, because there are indeed unscrupulous merchants who use the love of buyers to sell sick pets for profit. But no matter what, if you encounter trouble again, you should stay calm and don't smash other people's stores easily. Xiao Li expressed his gratitude to the mediator and said he would learn a lesson. Through this incident, Daning wanted to say one more thing: Keeping pets is not a problem, but keeping pets should not become a burden to oneself, nor should it cause trouble to other people's lives.
