Abandoned cats and dogs

There are a lot of “reasons” why pet owners abandon their pets.

Let us begin with the main reason “my dog is too expensive”. Of cause animals cost money. They need food, water, shelter and medical care.
But this is a fact which you should consider before you buy a pet.

Next popular reason is “she got too big.”
Puppies don’t stay the same size forever. This is not surprising.
If you want a small dog, you have to take a smaller dog breed. In the internet age, it is very easy to find it out.

The third witless reason some people say is “he’s too old now.”
You could easily look the average age of the breed up in a pet guide. We all age - that is a biological process which you should know.
By implication, is your child allow to abandon you in the middle of the countryside when you’ll be too old?

Are these "reasons" big enough to abandon a pet?
To abandon a pet on reservations of motorways or leave it alone in a wood or park bench, means the death sentence of your pet. And you are responsible for her/his death!
It need a lovely home and everything else is cruel and should be punish with high fine!

Please be not as stupid as the pet owner below.
Inform you about a suitable pet and calculate the costs which this animal will occasion. Ask yourself the question if you are ready to take care of the pet for its whole life.
