Question by Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷAMBER ADDICTIONƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ™: do you think the actions im taking are okay :O?
okay so to make a long story short

here’s what happened

my yard is fenced in and it has about 4 tree’s and it’s not that large, or not to small,

i wen’t in my backyard, and saw one baby chinchilla it was an pink-white one.and one that looked a little older it was a standard gray, so i was like… what are these domesticated chinchilla’s doing in my yard, ( at this point im like my gate is locked, it must have took someone to throw them over the fence). or their good jumper’s.
so i captured them , put them in a box
i already have to female’s , and determined they we’re to in fact female’s, i wasn’t going to put them in the cage with my other’s they could have disease’s , so i noticed a leg band with a number , this was strange to me, i’ve never seen this i called it, and it was a breeder, they both had number’s next to the phone number i told this man i found two chinchilla’s and told him the number’s he told me they belonged to a woman by the name of chesla sanchez , and he told me her address , or he said he could just take them and care for them.
i said no, i asked for the the woman’s number,
at first i was like the address is familiar but the name isn’t
so i called and it turn’s out she’s a woman two blocks from me i advised her i found her chinchilla’s unharmed she said ” you we’re the only neighbor with a safe enough yard so i threw them back there”
i was like ” … what…?”
she goes ” i don’t want them im sick of caring for them i’ve had locy the grey one for 4 months, shes about 6 month’s now and riley for a week now, shes 2 month’s about,”
i said ” why didnt you just bring them to shelter?”
she responded with excuses , and we chatted.
she later brought over a cage
IT WAS DISGUSTING.
i have no idea why someone would put paper as liter
no dust bath and a bowl with water in it and some cherrio’s
as food.
the cage was the size of a cage you would travel in
for 1 chinchilla.
so i’ve already went to pet smart and spent about $ 250.00 in cash on a cage and some toy’s for them
and i have already brought them to the emergency vet,
just encase they have anything
the vet noticed some fur missing and the 2 month old’s ear was bitten up , so he just told me to put neosporion on it and it’s good.
and they had some constipation.

and so i got them their toy’s,cage,dust bath,water bottle, and food dishes.

i bought them a four level cage – and it seemed they we’re amazed she probably never let them out.
their all set up, i’m not rich and i wanted to give them to a shelter but i felt so bad, im kinda tight with money because of all this, but i rent a apartment from my parent’s house they said they’ll give me a break for a few month’s,
so what i think i’m going to do is have the veterinarian testify in court for animal cruelty, and endangering the animal’s they we’re left their to die and she mistreated them while under her care,
I’m also going to call animal control on her.
she claim’s she didn’t want them because they we’re to much work but later in the conversation she states ” i’m starting a rat breeding business”.
so do you think the actions im taking are okay?
any suggestions?
any thing else you would do?
that’s very true i’m going to go have her sign a paper .

:p

thanks for the other awnser to.
yeah, but i’ve become attached , their are no ,

no-kill shelter’s we’re i live
their’s only one high kill shelter the “nycacc”

and plus, because of their condition they’d be put down once they get into the shelter.

and if i give them away once i’m even more attached i’d be a wreck.

i mean i have left over money but i could use some extra.
to jb,

i want justice for them, i don’t want to just leave it because there “JUST ANIMALS”.

treat the abuse as if it was a human.

and, by tight i men’t i could use some extra money, but i have enough. – sorry i didnt explain like that .

and i can use my parent’s lawyer.

I would have her sign a paper stating that she is giving you the chinchilla’s before you call anyone so she can not force you to give them back.
