3. Darn, there goes that 'stray turtles' thought again!

When Arnold here in CA suggested shortening the wait time before putting to death stray animals, the newspaper article quoted that stray pets such as 'rabbits, snakes, & turtles' would be immediately killed.

And boy was I shocked that STRAY TURTLES are a problem!

And now there in the UK too!??

WONT SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE TURTLES!!!!!???????????????

hahahahahahaha.

6. Lets face it most kids want the animals then you have to drive them to ---

care for them. I hated cleaning up after all the animals we had as kids so I cleaned up after all the animals I (I) got as a grown up. Half the time the parents are the ones that want the animals and blame it on their kids.

8. I always hated the use of goldfish as prizes

Sends a really bad message.
