Though the circumstances surrounding  - remain unclear, the man who says he owned the pet shop below the fire, and lived in the unit where the fire began, says all the animals are safe with friends, while the Suffolk Society for the Prevention of the Cruelty of Animals is investigating the incident for any potential wrongdoings at the pet store.
