Yes there is something wring with a 19 year old that would kill someone else’s pet but the father going to a far left wacked out antihuman organization is far worse.
I suspect that many on this thread are making a joke of this young woman’s odious behavior because the pet is in the rodent family. I don’t care for gerbils or hamsters either, but it is a pet . . . a member of the “family” so to speak.
I doubt the jokes would be so lavish if the pet had been a dog or cat.
