Maybe it's just late night determination, but I'm feeling REALLY strongly about making PSAs about how the way animals like Slider turtles and goldfish are being treated is the equivalent of putting a puppy in a 20x20cms box and neglecting it until it dies at 5 months, and then saying that's because they "aren't supposed to live that long", and why parents should be worried these are the values their children are learning. Or how you wouldn't give a Rolex to a 5 year old just because it was spelled cheap to you, and so then why are we giving them pets that cost 2000$ to take care of and are practically family hairlooms
Shitttt maybe I'll doooo. I need to contact my local conservation group.
