I am fuming at all the parents out there who just let their children do whatever they want to pets. It’s this simple: don’t buy your kid a pet if you aren’t going to teach them to be gentle to it.
No, they don’t need to bathe because your kid wants to use his Jurassic park shampoo.
No, they shouldn’t be dragged around the house harshly.
No, they can’t live off a few sliced carrots per day.
No, they shouldn’t be having Nutella covered bread shoved into their face.
Except for the bathing, all of the above happened just yesterday in a timespan of 10 minutes when I went and got this bunny after seeing the attached photo in a marketplace ad. Even when the bun was in my carrier the kid kept hitting it just to see his reaction and the mother was just standing there laughing.
I can’t imagine what this bun had been through but I hope he’ll forget it soon. I am sad to say that because of a language barrier they didn’t learn anything from it. I wish I could’ve explained to them how wrong this is, but they didn’t understand anything.
I am not religious at all but I’m praying to whatever gods that are out there that they will never be getting another bunny again.
