Pet farm successfully sued - Ericcson Pet Farm

The New Paper of 11 February 2009 has a story of a wealth manager successfully suing a pet farm that sold her a puppy that died miserably of illness a few days later.

The claimant had done a lot of research to prove that the illness was the pet farm's fault - she obtained a copy of the autopsy report on the puppy and she performed a lot of research on the internet relating to the disease that killed her puppy. She also took photographs to show the dirty conditions at the pet farm.

All this work she compiled into a 40 page report which she presented to the Small Claims Tribunal referee (or judge) to prove that when the puppy was sold to her, it was already infected. In the end, she won back the $2,000 plus that she paid for the puppy.

I salute Ms Phaebe Chau for her hard work and what she has done for her puppy, all pet animals and for consumer rights.
