Wise Old Thumper
I often wonder what goes through their heads and why they think it's OK to see a little life as nothing more than a disposable gift or " thing,"
We've heard the story a thousand times before, child wants a cute bunny, stamps foot, begs with parents and eventually parents give in and buy cute little bunny. Little bunny grows up, becomes hormonal smelly scratchy and bitey child looses interest
The other day I was in pets at home to get some emergency hay, normally I wouldn't go in there but what I thought was a full bag of hay was actually a bag of rubbish . I stood there looking at the tiny bunnies and over heard a parent and child " Daddy I want it," says the child " maybe for Easter," says the dad looking at mum for approval. Mum says " yeah might as well, they don't live that long anyway and will be dead before he gets bored with it," :shock::shock::shock: I pipe up and say " I have a bunny at home who is 9 years old and still going strong so you may have bunny a lot longer than you think," parents faces are like :shock::shock::shock: mother turns to child and says " you're getting an egg," :lol::lol::lol::thumb:
