I am FURIOUS. Went to a flea market, they had tons of ducks, most of which were smashed in little cages WITH NO WATER. It's really hot here. So, I pointed it out to a few vendors and they were cool about it and thanked me. One said if I wanted them watered I'd have to buy them! WHAT?!?
I walked away, practically in tears. I bought 10 bottles of water and returned. The first booth I hit was one that I didn't say anything to so I poured them a bunch of water and the sweet things were just climbing over each other to get it.
Then moved to the evil booth. They had given them some but it was low in a deep bucket and black as night and full of straw. I asked (a different person) if I could freshen up their water. She told me NO, it's not good for them and that I'd better leave. We had words and I left.
What the heck? My blood is boiling. They were all panting. And she was just being a jerk. My approach nice and helpful. I never even got sassy with the first guy. How can they treat those sweet creatures like that? They needed water!!!!
What can I do? Who can I call? They are open tomorrow. I should have opened a bunch of bottles and dumped them in the bowl anyway. Fatty would have taken awhile to stop me. And I'm sure if she touched me the police would have gotten involved... Which is fine because that would have been a smack on the wrist for doing a good thing.
So, I know I should let it go but that is animal cruelty. That is illegal, I think. . I want to be a thorn in their side, I hate to say. It's wrong. All I wanted to do is share my water. Fresh cold bottled water.
Thoughts? Please don't ask me to let it go.
