Dead Livestock in Stornoway Petshop!
It's alleged that Stornoway Petshop in Church Street has been reported to the local council for the state the animals are being kept. Today a dead guinea pig was found 'stiff as a board' and lying in its food bowl by a member of the public.
None of the animals seem to be for sale which isn't really surprising when you consider the conditions they are kept in. They have tortoises kept on the floor on woodshavings without access to water.
The only wildlife that seems to be thriving is of the Arachnid family (spiders) going by the number of cobwebs!

Royal Navy Orders New Aircraft Carriers
The Ministry of Defence today gave the green light for the £4billion construction of two new aircraft carriers for the Royal Navy.
The HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales will be the biggest and most powerful surface warships ever constructed in Britain, and will enter service in 2014 and 2016 respectively.
Their construction and assembly at shipyards in Portsmouth, Barrow-in-Furness, Glasgow and Rosyth will create or sustain 10,000 jobs across Britain, said the MoD.
Mr Browne said: "The two aircraft carriers will provide our front line forces with the modern, world-class capabilities they will need over the coming decades. They will support peace-keeping and conflict prevention as well as our strategic operational priorities.
