Yes you are right WolfChan. But I was going from the way it sounded. I am sorry but that is my opinion on feeders. I dislike it very much! Not to mention it is unhealthy for snakes....I don't even want to go into detail.


KingRattus:


I am sorry about your ratties. If you took care of them that is great! I hate feeder breeders who just neglect them so bad, it makes me sick. And as you know I breed fancy rats as pets so a lot of us breeders hate feeder breeders......that is just the way we are. I am glad you gave them good care.



As far as Dan, he didn't do anything on purpose, he was unknowledgable and with my bad pregnancy and everything I know why it happened but I have to forgive, especially because of the fact he is the father of my son. I can't hate him, that's not good for my son to see. Not to mention we still live together and are together. He would never intentionally hurt any animal. He's come a LONG way though let me tell you! He's pretty obscessed with his animals lol. Sometimes to the point it makes me sick..urrgh!


It sounds like your mother did though and I don't know why she would do that to you. It is sickening. Those were YOUR rats, and you obviously loved them so why would she do such a thing?? I don't understand parents these days. At least some were euthaized though and not killed viscously like my cats were. Perhaps if they were unsocial that was the best thing for them, to not breed more unsocial rats. Where did she dump them? Why did she dump your kitten on the highway? Do you know what happened to it? Did she throw it out a window or what? God that is cruel! If my mother did that I would never forgive her.


Again I am sorry about your ratties. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions, but I do have to say that even if they were bred for feeders why would you breed them if they were unsocial? A lot of people take feeder rats home and breed them and sell their babies as pets, which really hurts the rat fancy because then there are tons of "pet" rats with horrible temperament problems etc. At LEAST you gave them love and care, a hell of a lot more than ANY feeder breeder I have seen! So Congrats to you on that! I am sure your babies were social though, so that's a good thing.



If Dan hurt any of my animals or starved them on prupose, I don't care if he was the preseident, yes I WOULD report him! But the fact was, he didn't do it on purpose, he did it on accident. It was a mstake and a very good life lesson, one that taught him responsibility for animals and humans at that!


I wish I would have known about Humane Societys and all that when I was younger. I would have reported my moms bf for killing our kittens and birds and everything but the fact is in California police and Animal Control could care less.


It took my moms SO many times just for the police to arrest Francisco for beating her, every time they would just leave us there with hi. We had to go into hiding at a womens shelter and after he put my mom in the hospital for beating her while she was pregnant and breaking her arm he was then finally put in jail, and it was for TWO days!
