I think if you're perfectly capable of caring for all the animals on your own, your parents should get the stick out their butt, but whatever. I agree with earlier posts. Turn them in to another elder if they're willing to starve your animals long term. ESPECIALLY since you're capable of caring for them. Starving an animal is a crime that needs reported right away. Those creatures need food eventually and if they get to a point of poor health or even death, that's a crime. 6 miles is a long walk for a kid, especially since it's getting hot out.
