Help with my research on pet acquisition (UK ONLY!) - emmataylorwildlife - 01-12-2021

Hi Everyone,


I am conducting a research study for my university dissertation, investigating where people choose to get their pets from and your experiences with breeders, rescue centres and/or pet shops.

I would really appreciate it if you could take the time to carry out my survey (linked below), as any information you could provide will be a great help.
It'll take about 15-20 minutes, but your contributions will help to find out where we are sourcing the animals that we so dearly love and how we can maximise their welfare before they get to their forever homes.

You just need to be over the age of 18 to participate.
PLEASE UK BASED PARTICIPANTS ONLY! 

Please feel free to share the link to the survey with your friends and family as the wider the reach the better.

Thank you so much for your help and contributions!  Heart

Good luck with your research. I am Canadian so I can't help, but I am sure  many people will  want to participate.

I am British but live in France, so I suppose that I cannot help, either. If you restrict your enquiries to UK residents only, I fear that you will not get many answers from most online forums, as they are international. I wish you success, however.

I'm from the US so I'm of no help either.

Where are all our UK members?

Thank you very much for your comments everyone! 


I understand that many people online will be based outside of the UK, but I am investigating the attitudes and opinions of UK residents- there are a number of factors that may influence these, and these can vary between countries, so to carry out a study that is feasible within my time frame I am restricting my findings to the UK only. Smile 

Thanks again!

I understand. You need to focus on a manageable area.  In Canada you would have to break it up into regions. There is no one countrywide attitude.
I wish you luck with your project.  Hopefully some of our members can help you.
