Asking because I live in a poor EU country and thought if it’s part of the EU there should be some kind of regulation about this…

But maybe it’s just prevalent in Europe

    Depends on the animal. Fish almost all stores have. Reptiles are common. Maybe rats, mice, hamsters or birds.

    Never cats, dogs.

    You will need to check your local legislation.

    There are EU regulations, but those are minimum requirements and they are not implemented everywhere yet. Unfortunately it’s basically impossible to know where the animals come from unless they tell you.

      I’m aware of my local legislation, I’m asking about other parts of Europe…

      I don’t agree that it’s basically impossible to know where the animals come from
