Here's the dilemma. My mother invited my sister's teacher over to MY house, to purchase MY rabbits. Errr... Did I say purchase? I meant, to take them for free. Somehow my mother left out the fact that they're for sale. Actually, she left out a lot of things. This woman has been telling my mother that she'll come pick them up for the past 3 weeks - but never showed up for the scheduled times. In fact, she's 30 minutes late for today's meeting. I do not have the teacher's contact information. I've never spoken to her directly, never met her in person. I've forwarded my phone number to her, and she hasn't even bothered to call to say that she's running late/won't be able to meet. It really bothers me, because she wants them as pets. She told my mom that she's owned rabbits before. I asked, how many? What breed? Where were they kept? Her answer: over 100 rabbits, "wild ones", in my backyard. :explode: It's illegal to "own" native wild life. I asked what she fed them, she said she didn't. She then told my mother that she had already purchased a cage for the rabbits. I asked "what size"? She says the person at the store told her to get a cage "perfect for dwarf rabbits". I flipped! Told her that the rabbits are 12 lbs and are currently housed in an 11ft x 8ft room. A cage "perfect for dwarf rabbits" is big enough for them to use as a litter box. To my surprise, she went back to the store and purchased an x-pen for dogs. I appreciated that she was willing to purchase something larger. Because I said "... use as a litter box" she assumed they were litter box trained. They're not. She wants to house them in her CARPETED living room. She doesn't have a backyard to put an enclosure, either.
For about the same length of time, I've been speaking to a wonderful lady who recently moved to a farm in order to become more self-sufficient. Adding a few meat rabbits for breeding purposes is the last step to completing her goal. She's owned rabbits in the past, answered all of my questions and seems to be very well researched.
How can I politely say "YOU WILL NEVER OWN MY RABBITS" to my sister's teacher?

however if i ever EVER cought my mom or boyfriend or anyone EVER trying to sell my animals that are not for sale of just gie them away there would be h-e double hockey sticks to pay. thats why ive almost moved out twice. my parents think they can control me when things dont go their way they threaten to get rid of my animals or let the birds out the window.. its they're house yea, but they gave me permission to use the room and its not like theyre creating a mess (thats not vacumable) or creating problems with the whole house.. i could see if i had animals that rampaged the house or destroyed furnature but i mean come on. i'm 20 and my boyfriend and i are saving up to rent a duplex or something incase it happens again.my animals mean way too much to me.. so we may move out in a year to two years (which is when i plan on getting buns lol) though i do know if i get buns i cant say no to him getting a dog, even though it would be too soon. oops! good thing im in the random ramblings part cuz boy am i rambling haha
