Wise Old Thumper
This woman came up to me at work today asking about rabbits, because someone had told her I had some. Anyway she was going on about how she was going to go and buy a bunny for her 9 year olds birthday tomorrow.
I said you shouldnt give a child an animal, that you should only get one if you are going to be looking after it and she laughed and said the reason she was after a rabbit because that way she wouldnt have to do that :shock:
And she thought after buying the hutch, the bun would be pretty cheap to look after because rabbit food isnt as expensive as cat or dog food!!
So I started going on about neutering, vaccinations, hay, exercise, cleaning, fresh veg daily, toys and spending lots of time with the bunny and she was just looking at me like I was nuts :roll:
But then she said "oh well it all seems like more hassle than its worth so I wont bother with that then, maybe I will wait until christmas and get her a kitten" :evil:
Sorry this is getting quite long but I am just really shocked. I know you have probably all heard stuff like this before and I have read about people like her on here but this is the first person that has actually said anything like that to me and it has made me really angry!
I will stop now
