GO JOHN! In middle school, I used to volunteer each yr to run some of the kiddie games at our town's small carnival to help the hospital programs. (This was before it entered my mind that people might not take good care of their pets. Sheltered life!) We had this cage of baby bunnies that were the special prize for tossing a ball into a colored bowl. (Clear bowl gets a gold fish.) Anyway, I just about had a fit that the one man was trying to win a bunny to feed to his snake. I went running over to the manager of the kiddie games who very bluntly told me that it's none of my business what he chooses to do with his rabbit and that if he wins one, I had to give it to him. I think that was the last minute I ever volunteered for them. (BTW, the man didn't win anything but goldfish and he thankfully didn't want them.)
Anyway, That's great John. We are also a farming community and animals are a big part of our county fair. They sell guinea pigs there. That's actually how I got my Mavis. Her "owner" never came back for her because she came in second place. When it was closing time and she was still there, I asked what they were going to do with her and the guy said, "Well, I'm not taking her home, that's for sure." I scooped her up and left. I'll probably go back this fall and make sure the same thing doesn't happen again. Anyone willing to take Chickens, ducks, etc?  |
