Why do we have to put up with people who ask questions but then refuse to listen to us anyway? What a negative attitude. I may be new to these forums but I've run into this on other forums in the past.
Best one yet (summarized):
[poster]: "What size cage should I house two breeding Umbrella Cockatoos in?" (these are very large sized birds btw)
[me]: "I say a bare minimum size would be 6ft x 6ft x 6ft"
[poster]: "No way!!1? i dont hve room for that cage! I have them in a 1ft x 2ft x 2ft cage and they are fine! So leave me alone!! do U think i'm some sort of millionare!!??1"
[me]: "You asked what I thought was an appropriate cage size, and I think the minimum would be a 6ft cube, regardless of how much space you have available. You may not have enough room to house two breeding cockatoos."
[poster]: "They are scared fo me but they will like me in time and they will be fin in the cage i hv so dont give me such a hard time for asking a question. I came to u for help not to get yelled at geeze!! i thot you were suposed to help ppl!?"
I cry for the cockatoos and catfish out there.
I apologize if this post is not appropriate. Moderators can delete it. I just have such a hard time with people who are not interested in learning about the lives they have taken into their hands; animals who are helpless and have no rights. It is our job to care for them in the best way possible.
