We went to the RSPCA shelter this afternoon looking for a kitten. DS wanted to see the dogs so we went into the kennels bit and the dogs were going mental. Then we saw this boy (aged about 7) banging on the metal gates screaming "SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!" and his parents were stood there in stitches laughing at him. The dad then punched one of the kennel doors and stood there saying "COME ON YOU FUCKER! THINK YOU'RE HARD!" to a German Shepherd dog and the kid immediately copied him and kicked another kennel door with a very timid spaniel type dog inside (looking absolutely petrified) and shouted "GET HERE NOW! YOU LITTLE IDIOT!" and his dad burst out laughing and screamed at the german shepherd "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FLEA RIDDEN PIECE OF SHIT! I'LL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF YOU COCKY LITTLE BASTARD!"
My DS didn't know what the hell was going on. I went back through to reception to let them know what was going on and they came through and asked them to stop winding the dogs up. I then said to the mother "you should keep your kid under control, I hope they're not letting you adopt one of these animals" and I got a mouthful of abuse for it.
Was I being unreasonable in saying anything at all? should I have kept out of it?
