Gifting pets is terrible. Unless the person being gifted to wants or at least can take care of the thing. My uncle got his son a dog and his son is a menace, he was pulling on it’s ears grabbing it’s mouth so much, the dog bit him and almost tore the little shit’s ear off. And they had to abandon the dog. Please don’t gift animals to kids, or to someone who hasn’t agreed to having one.
Fair, but atleast make sure the kid is not Sid from toy story.
