Do you think people should purchase chicks or ducklings or rabbits for Easter gifts?
Ducklings are fragile and a decently cared for duck has an average life span of about ten years or so. I think it’s plainly stupid to give one to a child as an Easter gift. I think the only people who have any business giving a child a pet as a gift is the parents. They are the ones who will have to ensure that the children take care of them. Unfortunately, many parents do this without considering the commitment they are making. If someone purchased a pet for one of my children as a gift without my full knowledge and consent, I’d knock them upside the head.
