This is so horrible!! When I was a child I remember my father getting me two, a purple one and a pink one. I used to love being around animals so I was so happy bc I was going to have new pets.
I remember that I took care of them as much as I could, I knew how to take care of animals bc I was always surrounded by them, but I never had chickens, so I was being extra careful. However, even when I did my best to take care of them, just few days later I found the purple one dead. I remember I felt horrible bc I thought that maybe I didnt take care of it properly so it was my fault :(
The pink one tho, was lucky and he grew up completely, looking gorgeous with its true colors, and was alive for many years. I was very happy bc at least I could take care of one of them.
It is a very sad thing. As a kid I didnt know, as many people dont know either and thats why they buy them. I hope people notice how terrible it is and stop doing that to the poor babies :(
Great post! Great topic!
