I hate fucking animals......

Went up to get crickets for our Lizard thing.....

I'm in the pet store and I see a Green Conure (bird for them that don't know). He's real quiet and half freaked out looking. Tag on the cage says his name is "chief", that he's a "3 year old Green Condor" and "needs a quiet home". Price tag on him is $150.00. I glance at a couple of other Conures they have in there and see that they are priced at $399.00 and $499.00.

I ask the main pet store guy what the deal is with the bird, starting with "The quiet home part, is that a species thing or just this particular bird?".. He tells me that it is this particular bird. The bird was owned by a little old lady, he had originally been purchased (as a baby) as a companion bird for a lady. The lady had passed away recently and the family wanted to get rid of the bird so they brought it to the pet store to get them to sell it. He said the bird, when he first arrived at the store was real friendly and lovey-dovey but because of the noise in the store and kids poking their fingers in saying "polly want a cracker" 5000 times a day that the bird was now only semi-tame and was freaked out some.

I knew that if Jen were with me, she would say "screw it, we're getting that bird out of there". But she wasn't with me.

We have discussed it some since I got home and going back and forth and forth and back over it. We can't rescue every animal that is in a bad spot. But, we so much want to. Tearing me up because it isn't the birds fucking fault that the lady's family are assholes.

The bird is 3 years old, he's gonna live to be 25 or 30 years old if life goes right for him. Fucking long ass time to be responsible for a fucking bird. I'm a smoker, the fucking thing would probably out live me.

But he's stuck there in the fucking cage, just freaked.....

Fuck fuck fuck...

Goddamn animals !
