I do agree. This is sad. They are so trusting.
At my previous position, we had a bird that was passed from zoo to zoo. When the animal people I worked with got Peaches, it took so much time and love. Peaches eventually felt secure and quit picking himself to near death.
When we were sold, Peaches went with the girl that brought him back from a near death.
Happy ending.
Happy ending, indeed! I would offer to take the little guy in myself ... but I have two cats who would probably turn him into lunch the moment I walked out the door.
