| Consumer Complaint |
We would always advise that in the event of a complaint the
first contact is made with the trader by you - preferably in the
form a letter (with proof of delivery). If that has not worked, if
you are located in the UK, Consumer
Direct will give you advice. From outside the UK
contact the UK European
Consumer Centre.
|
| Other Redress |
A police officer or officer of the local authority may make a
complaint to the local magistrates' court if they feel that animals
have been subject to cruelty.
