I am sorry but I really need to rant.
Yesterday my mum told my sister that one of our rabbits (Benjamin) had recently had an operation and with after care it had cost over £200. She explained that has we had rehomed the rabbit from the vets (they had been asked to PTS due to fighting with his brother) they had agreed to cover half the cost.
My sister said that £100 was still a lot for a rabbit.
I said, thats the resposibility you take on when you have animals.
My mum then said, no its the responsibility you take on whne you have too many animals like me.
I tried to explain that in most cases its the same furry that keeps gpoing to the vets, so if I had less I would probably still have the same vets bills!
My sister said but what if you don't have the money.
I replied you should not have animals if you can't find the money and that I hate it when people say they would pay it for a dog / cat but not a smaller animal.
My mum then said well you get more from a dog, like companionship and love. You don't get that from a rabbit in a hutch.
I was sooooooooooo mad! I wanted to kick them out of the car (I was driving!). I though my mum understood (if not the numbers I have, but at least the duty of cared ect).
