Seriously, I was furious as well as annoyed by the stupidity of my friend in one way or another although I appreciate his thoughts on knowing that I love hamsters.
Hamsters are living animals that I seriously believe that we should not gave them as random gifts or presents. Have my friend consider what would had happened if I had rejected the pairs of hamsters? How will the hamsters fare? What will their fate be if I did not accept the hamsters?
My parents does not hate animals but do not approve house pets although I been keeping them in my room. As the result, I had to reduce the numbers of hamster that I had been keeping to 2 until that thoughtless friend of mine give me a pair of Winters for my birthday. He was mentioning that I used to keep 13 so 4 should not be a problem...
Have my friend really think of the consequences of that should I had rejected the 2 hamsters? What will my friend do? Return to the pet store and apologise? Keep the 2 hamsters and remind him how his recklessness had resulted in keeping 2 hamsters that he have neither experience or facilities for them for at least 2 years or more?
I seriously believe that animals are serious commitment until death brings us apart. If one really wish to give someone special an animal as a gift or present, I seriously advise the one to bring someone special down to a pet shelter (save a life, adopt one) or pet store and choose together.
Let the new /existing owner knows that he/she will be having new additional to the family and the additional commitment involved. Do not rush into a pet store and buy animals as gift or presents for the reason that they are simply adorable looking.
Every Single Animal is
A Lifetime Commitment
