Oh absolutely. It is a huge decision to get any pet, but especially one like a cat or dog that will depend on you for everything - food, attention, love, walking etc for 10 years if not more. I get so angry every week when I read the classifieds and see lists and lists of giveaway dogs and cats, usually big dogs like german shepherds and dalmations etc that are about 10 months old, so just growing big and naughty that say 'needs big yard, high fence and lots of attention'. Translation - we got a totally unsuitable dog for our circumstances because we're careless and bought it on impulse, now surprise surprise we can't look after it and have to give it away. As if buying an animal is no different to buying a new sofa or something. Sorry, but that is one of my really really pet peeves [img]smile.gif[/img] .
I know what you mean, I really hate those people who just neglect their pets in every possible way [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img]
Those poor animals usually end up so damn disturbed that the most humane thing to do would be to have them put to sleep
