My mother did the same thing with my rabbits a few years ago when we moved. I made the very hard decision then not to have any more animals. After a year of that my mother seemed to realize what ahe had done and allowed me to get my lizard.

My mom also gave up the last two dogs we had, one because of a BAYBEE (one of the LAMEST excuses to abandon a family member) and one because he bit small children.

It took me a long time to realize what was happening, and it's been a long road trying to educate someone who doesn't want to listen. If you want, PM or email me and we'll try to figure out how to convince her that she's damaging innocent lives.

I think that if we had gotten Wilbur three years ago, she would have given him up because of his housebreaking problems. Now, however, we're persevering with him.

So...I just made a long rambling post that didn't really have a ton to do with the original topic. Sorry...
