:What are you guys? stupid animal rights activists? I'm not too immature, I've atleast 40 different pets in my life and everyone of them has done fine...Infact I still have lot's of 'em, that's all my house is, is animals...You people sure aint afraid to speak your mind. All I asked was for a place to find info on ferrets and some advice, not a lecture, if I want a lecture I'll talk with ma parents. Now stop makin' people mad and dissin' em with your stupid meh meh meh bull crapola f*ckin' too immature sh*t. And now, to explain how i meant I'm loosin' interest...Yeah, my pet's are all cool but I'm sure even you guys can admit that after a while they loose there appeal that they once had...There still sweet and cool to have but think about it, when you first get a dog for instance your like SWEET! You got a new pal and you gon teach him tricks 'n' all that sh*t but you look a few years later, and you just walkin' in the front door just like hey dog, it aint no big thang...But anyways...My last pet is mice, and it aint like it sounds, where I got em one day, and bored the next, I've had them for a year now and I've even bred them...There's only so much fun you can have with mice and then that's that, they arn't this big cool thing anymore but you still like em, so you go look for something else to have fun with. It's like a cd, you can only listen to it so many times before you get bored...Now I know I'm bein a hippocrit here talkin bout you guys to stop callin me imature while i sit back and yell at you cuz you is tellin me that, but i mean come on...i'm a young adult i know right from wrong and all that nonsence...and just cuz i get a new pet dont mean i toss the other out.Now! I think I'm done...And by the way...Thanks for the help to all of you...
First of all, you apparently don't fully understand the conception of"right & wrong," imo. And you definitely don't understand the importance that animals play in all of our lives. With that said, your comparion of your "pets" to a CD is absolutely atrocious! What this indicates to a wiser and more experienced mind is that you view animals as a toy. Something for you to play with until you get tired of it. This analogy has got to be the most shallow minded thing that I've heard in a long time! And No- I don't get tired of teaching my dogs "tricks" as you put it. I have a lifelong committment to my dogs to do he best that I possibly can for them. I do dog training a minimum of 3 days a week, plus the training I do at home as "homework." As I told you,we spent over $1000 to help one of our ferrets maintain a good quality of life for as long as possible, and we would do the same for any one of the creatures we live with. We're in the process of building a very large habitat for our Water Dragons so that they will be happier.
That's enough of what I do for my creatures. I do believe it's a waste of my time to try and explain it to you as you do not have a true appreciation of a life. You are too young, immature and self centered to appreciate living things.
Pleas do give your animals away to peole who will give them good homes and appreciate them because you obviously don't. A year is no time at all in the life of creatures. Isn't it a good thing that your parents didn't get tired of you when you were 1 year old and go find somethng else that would be more fun and impress their friends with a "cooler" creature. Oh, and BTW- your language alone indicates your immaturity and lack of knowledge about how to addres people properly. Sincerely! Nancy Lizotte
