I am an animal lover and I hate to see animals mistreated or neglected in any way.
Which is why I hate what is happening at my parents house.
They don’t mistreat or abuse pets, but they have been really irresponsible. There are three cats living in the house, one old lady at 20 years old, a three year old and a one year old. The three year old was fine until they got the one year old, and now she wees and poos everywhere to mark her territory. They get into fights and both the young cats get very upset. My parents don’t seem to take this seriously.
But worse than that, there are also two chinchillas living there. They were bought about 8 years ago and have a 20 year life expectancy. My parents bought them after a younger sister begged for them, but predictably she grew up and didn’t care about them anymore. They are now confined to a cage in a locked room, with my mum going in once a day to top up their water and food bowl. They get no attention or time out to run :( I have told my parents to rehome them but they say it would be upsetting.
I hate thinking about it and it really upsets me but I don’t know what I can do. :(
