Not Again

I used to have a pet hamster called mao mao (it died in March). The experience of raising a pet was fun as you can see how a small pet grown from being a stranger to one that's close to you. The experience of seeing it passed away was painful though....

My neighbour has a kid in Primary 1. All children have curiosity and this kid has curiosity in owning a pet.... Once, he eagerly bought a small white hamster and for the first few days, the hamster was still ok and he did his small part in feeding him. However, his parents did not educate him that keeping a pet is a responsibility, not just for a moment of fun. The kid did not have proper knowledge on taking care of a hamster, and I can see that his parents did not have either (or did not bother...). You can imagine the poor hamster living in such conditions....

One day, when I alighted from the lift, I saw the hamster in a cage, near the litter shoot!! I was very angry cos it's simply irresponsible! How can they throw a living thing and leave it to die just like that !!!!! My sis and I decided to keep it cos we can't bear to let it die..

Today, when I got home, I saw a box outside their house...I peeped in and there was a very cute hamster inside! Inside the box was a small container of food and a toy....I felt angry suddenly...The parents have let the kid keep a pet again...and they put it outside the house, with no proper cage and no water! One poor hamster again...I really dunno why they want to own a pet when they dun wan to take proper care of it..
