When I first came to college, I was really surprised to find that a majority of my friends, if not almost all of them either didn’t care about animals or flat out didn’t like them- and my first reaction was ”Jesus what a bunch of psychopaths”. Then yesterday (the end of senior year…), I realized, because I was home schooled and I wasn’t able to make long term connections with people my own age until I went to go work at the zoo at 16, my entire high school social experience was centered around the zoo. So while everyone I knew in high school (EVERYONE) loved animals with a passion and were concerned with proper husbandry and conservation- those people were the minority, simply concentrated in a small area.And realizing that is weird….

Would it be weird to get another female faun colored hamster like CB was, or would that be like….getting six miniature poodles all the same color one after the other and naming them all Brandy like my mom’s aunt did cause that’s weird….
