Rupert was not bad. Not at all should he be blamed, thrown outside, or called "bad." I'm pretty sure he did not mean to harm your brother, as if he really wanted to, he could seriously harm him. It was a mere accident.

Rupert needs guidance, training, and understanding. As his owners, you and your family are supposed to give him such. The way you responded to the incident will not make him understand nor will it train him. He probably didn't even know what he did wrong.


In no way should he be killed for jumping on someone. If anything, he'd probably do a lot better in a different home who is more set out to train and understand him.
