I got a call from my uncle on Saturday, apparently his neighbors came into some money and decided in one day to up and move to Florida. Not that these people should have ever owned animals in the first place mind you. But anyway, they left and left about 20 chickens, and 3 rabbits. My uncle came home to find their dog tied in his yard as well.
So I get the call I and of course I'm on my way. I helped him catch the chickens, kept a few for myself and he took the rest as his flock is aging and not laying well. I managed to catch 2 of the rabbits and finally got the 3rd in a live trap tonight. I called animal control and they came and got the dog. So now I have these 3 rabbits who are pretty malnourished and were very dehydrated. The chickens seem OK, a bit thin but not too bad. The chickens and rabbits were all left locked in the coop with no way to get out. The rabbits had some tunnels under the coop but no outside exits.
Anyway I am still in a pretty bad mood about this whole thing and would really love to beat the crap outta these idiots. I'm sorry I am an animal lover and even if I weren't I could never just leave something to die like that and I just can;t understand it. I even vaccinate my neighbors dogs because I know they won't do it as well as worm them a couple times a yr. Same with another neighbor who can't seem to keep their horse at home. When he comes down I have a worming and vaccination chart for him right in my own horse's health folder and I worm and vaccinate him as well and trim his feet occasionally too. I am not rich by any means and sometimes can barely swing it for my own animals But I still manage to feed, worm, vaccinate and get proper farrier and vet care. Really is that too much to ask of some animal owners? Do some people not have a conscience much less a heart I mean come on its not that **** hard to take at least minimal care of them and do the responsible thing and find them a home if necessary.
Sorry for rambling on I still just really mad at the nerve of some people!
Oh anyone need a rooster I got stuck with him as well as the hens and I already have too many cocks in the hen house lol
