Why do so many people do this...

[Little Red]

Why does just about everyone with an old animal that's about to die sell them? I just bought a hummingbird with great stats and everything, but I forgot to check the age. Not even a minute after I bought the bird, I got a message at my farm house page saying "So and So went to Florida to play shuffleboard". I mean come on people! When you know that your animal is about to die any second, don't sell it to an unsuspecting player! Keep your animal until the moment that it retires! So many people do this on here and it's got to stop! Please leave your comments. If you have purposely done this then you should be ashamed of yourself.

Well it is smart strategy, and although I don't do it, whenever you make a purchase you should reasearch that animal and make sure it is a good purchase.

I dont think (at least i hope not) its a deliberate attempt to hoodwink someone

The date an animal moved to FL isnt set in stone, ages are approximate. I have bought older animals hoping to get one or 2 breedings before they move on

I have seen players sell sell older animals when "thinning the herd" I think it gives other players a chance at maybe rarer, or high stat animals, that wouldnt otherwise be available

whenever I am buying a new species I check their ages, varieties

This has happened to me too, and it's not nice, now I just check species details to see what the lifespan is, if the animal is worth it I still will if I think I'll get a breeding or two.

I sympathise.
