I made a post here a while ago about how my parents dogs killed a pet tortoise and basically the whole point was to illustrate don't have predator and prey animals together as pets. The world isn't a dream land where Bugs Bunny and sylvesta the *** get along. Dogs will eat animals that can't defend themselves for sport and food.

Follow up from that is that my parents lied to my sister and said that the tortoise had died coming out of hibernation and he died peacefully in his sleep.

I told my dad things like this will always balance out and protecting people now will only cause harm later on. things always balance out. I think specifically and have told both my parents that not telling her this information may mean she gets a pet tortoise again in the future and has it in conjunture with pet dogs, which will inevitably lead to the same thing that has happened twice before already.

This week I overheard my dad ask my mom whether my sister had mentioned about getting another tortoise... I'm not 100% what he meant by this. He could be considering getting another tortoise which I now find to be sick and am really questioning their intelligence at this point or he could generally be worried that she may want another one and that of course is not a good idea at all with 2 dogs! He also said he had a hard time Picking him up so understood my moms reaction. Again I didn't like it either and am now an advocate for not having pet predator and prey animals.

Anyway. A few days later, I also found out that someone who lives a few streets away has a greyhound dog and 10 bunnies and now muzzle the dog because it killed 2 of their previous bunnies. Who the fuck owns 12 bunnies and and a dog?! What is actually wrong with people?

I don’t know I'm just so angry with people. I sat out a pub last week and had a dog barking endlessly. People get animals because they are cute and sometimes cuddly and have no responsibility towards it's self or other animals that it may come into contact with. These are adults, making shitty decisions that cause harm to other animals. There was actually a post on here a few days after mine about someone having to tell an owner to get their dog away from a tortoise at a park. I think she thought that her dog wanted to play. What world do people actually live in. They think dogs are cute and harmless but it's basic biology how the animal kingdom survives through a food chain.

Again, if anything is taken from my post, as most of you are dog free anyway, don't let other people have predator and prey animals without knowing the stupid risks you are taking when doing it. I actually don't have a problem with people owning a dog. But please for the love of God, have some responsibility and keep that predator away from prey that it simply sees as food!
