Well, we told them for about 2 months that it was a bad idea to have 2 dogs running loose all day unsupervised with goats. They didnt listen till they came home and both pygmy kids' throats were ripped out and 2 adult goats had been harrassed to death. Told not to leave the rabbit hutch on the ground without an attached bottom, the dogs got all the rabbits too.
They are at our house all the time, they see how I raise my birds, the multiple runs and different pens for different weather, the fact that my dog has had the chicken eating beaten out of her, they know, but they think I am spoiling my animals and spending money that I shouldnt. They sold a 3 week old calf because they saw it eat some hay and sip some water so that must mean its ready to be off momma. We told them not to, they said it was to save on the pasture... oh but they kept the cow, who is the one who was going to eat the grass to begin with, so no pasture got saved and the calf probably died because it didnt want a bottle after being on momma for 3 weeks.
No common sense.
No these belong to some friends of ours, DH works with him and our kids are best friends, so its a delicate situation...
