Hi everyone! It's me agian, the same person who was griping about shelters and the rules with familes getting small animals. After reading some stuff on here about small kids and stomping on animals, etc. I want to say that I DO see the reasons behind shelter's rules alot more clearier now than before. But I do stand behind what I said before. That this issue should be taken on a family by family basis. I just wanted to let everyone know that I clearly see the reasons behind those rules, and that yes, some familes with little kids should not have small animals. But some familes, like mine, who have small children (ages 2 & 4), are just fine with small animals. And the funny thing is i didn't mention that my sister in law just moved in about a month ago with her 4 kids, ages 4,6,8,and 10. And they do the same as my kids, they don't hurt animals. Thanks!
