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
Depends on the animal. Fish almost all stores have. Reptiles are common. Maybe rats, mice, hamsters or birds.
Never cats, dogs.
I'm not aware of what the minimum EU regulation is.
Where in Europe is that?
Scandinavia.
Have you seen bunnies?
I may at have at some point. But rules and regulations have probably changed over the years.
That's interesting. In my country they sell baby bunnies, puppies and even cats :/ also they are from backyard breeders and usually have defects and health conditions
Cats yes, you can get the "farmer" cats that are happy little accidents of no particular breed. They are not in the stores though. Neither are the purebred cats, which are similar to dog breeders.
Dogs are bought directly from breeders (who almost universally has it a a side hobby) and while not illegal to breed on known hereditary diseases any responsible breeder have various veterinarian's certificates for (lack of) hereditary issues for the breed and puppies are checked by a vet before delivery.
