how can I convince my parents to get an Alpaca?

Ok ao I want to get 2 or 3 baby alpacas or just alpacas butthey wont listen, from what I have read we have more than enough room for them, we have 3/4s of an acre, I have read they are cheap to maintain cheap to buy in the first place and ww can get some of the money back by selling their fleece yearly but they just won't listen! I managed to talk them into getting some lizards for my birthday so I'm hoping I can do it again. They know I would look after them because we have chickens and a cat which I look after without help, I di the same with my lizards please help, what can I do??

    Well considering larger animals are more expensive and it is your parents money who have already bought you pets I would just give up. Also alpaca fleece isn't that profitable with 3 alpacas given the time it takes the hair to grow to length. Unless you can pay for it all yourself and maintain a profit I would again just let it be and be thankful that they feed, clothe and give you a place to live as well as giving you luxuries that I assume they pay for as well.
