Animal Protection Agency director Elaine Toland has praised school lettings provider, Vivify Venue and Medway Council after an "exploitative" reptile and amphibian market was stopped from going ahead at a school.
00:00We have a long-running campaign against reptile and amphibian markets, where we see sensitive wild animals, lizards, frogs, snakes, treated very much as inanimate objects.
00:14They really are the most abhorrent conditions that we see at these events.
00:18Animals are displayed and sold in small plastic takeaway containers with no space to move, stretch, no food, water, nowhere to hide.
00:28And these animals also need very finely controlled conditions such as temperature, humidity, light.
