ok so i have been asking them for over a year now but they keep saying i have too many pets but i only have 10 where i use to have 20 (1 of my birds flew away another died from old age and we sold my mice and a few of my chickens died from old age too:'(...) they also say there isn't enough room but there is! and pygmy goats are miniature. then they say they will dig up all the grass and eat everything but i don't get it what is there for them to eat in a chook pen besides its actual food i would also run down to the fruit shop every after noon to pick up scraps for it. i have done research on it and i think i could handle one because i spend most of my time with my pets and most of my friends who come over want to go down to the chook pen (where all my pets are) all the time so it would never be lonely. i want to have one before im 18 because (yes i know they have a long lifespan) once your 18 yu would want to be looking to get a house/apartment and i dont think i would be able to afford a big property and then once i can afford a big property it wouldn't be as fun to have a goat. how can i convince them to let me get one. they know im responsible and i would be the one buying it and paying for all the food. help?
