It's not rediculous or unreasonable at all, like many of the other posters said its dug up old wounds and the loss of a place can be very painful as well. Places like that are homes, and even though they may be objects, homes are part of families in their own way. My heart goes out to you because there is a special place like that in my life too and I would be devestated if it were unexpectedly gone.
Your emotions are not silly, and you are allowed to feel what you're feeling <3
It's so weird how hexbear posts that are relevant to my immediate situation keep showing up. I just got off the phone with animal control regarding the buddy I found when I got back from a trip (rest in peace boo boo).
There's something fucky about the way they're describing how the whole bat encounter went down. They trapped the poor thing and called all the relevant parties AND had been through this before but didn't submit the bat for rabies testing? Thats how you actually know if you need to get that $600 shot, if no test can be performed youre supposed to err on the side of caution. Even then you only need to worry if you touched the guy directly. Regardless, something doesn't add up here. Obvi the point about healthcare costs still stand but it really sounds like most of this story is fabricated for a quick liberal wank.
