In summer some persons abandon their pets, along the streets.

Pett give us all and these "citizens" abandon them.

I think pets should begin to abandon persons ...

Overall a certain kind of persons ...

I think people abandon pets cause they cant even take of themselves and dont want the responsibilty....

I think you are right about this. And remember that many persons take a pet like a toy, not like a living being.

With the foreclosure crisis here, we've seen an alarming rate of increase in the number of abandoned pets:( Many are at least taking them to the local shelter or trying finding other homes first, but so many more are not.

Shadow,

I agree with some of the reasons expressed here. Some people just dont realize the responsibility that comes along a pet. I heard that specially birds are hard to take care of and are among the animals that end up being more neglected or abandoned. Interesting dont you think?

Generally speaking I think that there is a disregard for animal rights perhaps we dont consider them as worthy as humans. If we explore this topic it could very well take us to a diet of peace.

I just attended a lecture about vegetarianism and the speaker called it a diet of peace :)

What do you think?

To abandon a pet is like abandoning a loyal friend. If those humans would have a gram of honor ... or simply a bit of feelings ...

A cat can survive and it doesn't suffer so much, but a dog, the dog is social, for a dog the owner is part of the life, without the owner a dog waits for the death.

To abandon a dog is like to abandon a child.

It's more a matter of basic feelings. A pet is a living being, when someone buy a doggy or a kitty, that guy should wonder about the family life with that new member, and wonder well ...

The pets are the members of family and once we have such it's our commitment and duty to take care of them.

Sometimes pets are given as a birthday or christmas present. And in a few days they end up on the street or rubbish bin. It's a horrible careless attitude. So when people think of giving presents they should consider very carefully if the pet is the right gift...
