what are the worst examples of pet care or animal husbandry you've ever witnessed?>mom got me and my brother 10 goldfish in a 10 gallon tank to learn about death because some book said so>certainly did learn about deathi wonder if finding a new fantail you loved lifelessly sucked against a HOB filter almost every day for a 2 weeks at the age of 5 does something to you
>>5040418Tf is wrong with your mom lol
>>5040418Your mom was just retarded and didn't know how to take care of fishes, then used that you must learn about death excuse afterwards anon
>>5040877Yes all that witch taught him was to be careless with lives you're responsible for the care of.The lesson about death and appreciating life while its there hits better if you actually take care of an animal for a long while.
>>5040418I don’t have a personal example but those hamster prison cells that used to be (maybe still are?) popular are awful
>>5040418>be 9 or 10>go to new friends house near school >like 3 busted ass old cars on the front lawn>house stinks like cat piss, at least 3 cats one of which is pregnant>doors are all fucked up from scratches>need to piss, friend says I need to go through the dog room (which it turns out was the laundry)>some poor dishevelled mutty dog chained up in there on the tiles>shit everywhere, stinks tonight heaven>it’s wagging its tail and jumping as it obviously doesn’t get any attention and is kept in this prison insteadReally sad stuff, hated that kids parents after that and never went there again
>>5040418>I move out>mum gets bored and decides to get a dog>buys an inbred Pomeranian ‘for real cheap’ from a lady down the road with like 8 of the things>its dumb but mum also doesn’t train it or have it trained by someone else>it pisses inside and she yells at it a lot, it’s super neurotic and shakes all the time>one day it pisses on some rug that mum likes and she loses it>takes it down the road and has a nearby farmer shoot it many animals live sad lives
>>5041473I saw these used for red-eared sliders
>>5041473These are pretty good for keeping insects they have no business hosting anything with a spinal cord. I always get customers who want to put fish or turtles in it.
>>5041473Too small?>>5041476Based child being more mature than shitty adults.>>5041477Yeah
>>5041477Is your mom Kristi Noem?
>>5041489true dat 100%. Couldn't put it better myself.
>>5041473My mom bought me a goldfish in one of these. I was obsessed with it the whole trip back home. My mom went to the kitchen to do some stuff while I was in the living room with the fish. She came back to the living room and screamed her lungs out because I decapitated the fish in my hands.I must have been 3 when this happened. I love animals but I guess my child mind was just too psychopathic about fishes.I own a 60L (16 gallon) now with tetras and shrimp with live plants that has 0 algae. Very healthy aquarium.
>>5041473I had a rat that came in one of those things. We put him in a bigger terrarium but he refused to leave it. It just became his little hut inside his cage.
