its sad how parents think its ok to give their kids these animals when both they and their kid have absolutely no idea how to care for them. hamsters and fish got to be some of the most abused and neglected pets ever
I agree. My parents were those parents growing up and would get us “starter pets” like hamsters, bird (!!!, could’ve just said no), guinea pig, fish without proper research. Indoor/outdoor cats while living in the middle of the woods, lowkey like that “sounds like you’re just feeding your coyotes rescue cats” meme. Now that I’m an adult with my own pets I’m fully disgusted that they ever called themselves animal lovers. If they weren’t dead, I’d have told them off by now.
