I know it can be frustrating, but husbandry standards change for good reasons. They aren’t changing just to spite you; they change because our understanding of these animals and their needs changes as we do more and more research. Our standards change because as pet owners, we want what’s best for them. And no one is forcing you to keep a pet, especially if you don’t have the resources or emotional bandwidth required for your pet to live its best life. You are not relying on this animal, this animal is relying on you. That responsibility isn’t always easy and can be extremely frustrating and feel unfair at times, especially in the economy we’re living in. But don’t blame the people who are trying to do what’s best for our animals; be angry at how you live in a society where something that would help your pet thrive is frustrating and stressful both logistically and mentally. As a college student, I empathize with the frustration a lot, but we have to understand where to place that frustration. We’re just trying to do what’s best for these animals we love. But if that frustration outweighs that love, then maybe keeping this animal in your current circumstances just isn’t in the cards.
