The Alternative Pet Shop - a photo on Flickriver

83-4 Jiangyin Rd., Shanghai
I had photographed this pet shop and its lady owner last November:

This time, an older lady seemed interested and was poking her head round the door. The shop cat looked up at her curiously, the dog that had lost its freedom was barking restlessly in its cage, and the lady was coming out of the inner room and noticed that I was taking pictures ....... However, the curious older lady walked away after a while.

About this pet shop:
This pet shop is located on Jiangyin Road, a street that used to be the first open-air "flower and bird market" in Shanghai in the 1980s and 1990s. "Flower" refers naturally to potted plants and so on, while "bird" refers to pets, including birds, turtles, insects, goldfish, tortoises, rabbits and so on, many of which were even protected animals. As for the most important protagonists of pets nowadays, dogs or cats, there weren't many of them at that time.
In 2001, this open-air bird and flower market was relocated from Jiangyin Road, leaving only a few shops along the street. This "Alternative Pet Shop" may be one of them. It is very different from the pet shops that are common in Shanghai today. Cages are stacked tightly, with kittens, puppies, rabbits, goldfish, turtles and insects crammed into a small space. This is exactly what pet shops (bird and flower shops) used to be like, or perhaps more appropriately called "traditional pet shops". However, this kind of pet shop is rare nowadays, so the owner labels it as an "alternative pet shop".
