Abandoning and Adopting

Pets are not toys. You don’t just discard them when they get old, or get bored of them. Many people don’t think twice before buying a pet. Birds and rodents are left in a filthy cage, left in a corner, forgotten by their owners after a few weeks. Cats are left neglected. The most common animal being exploited are dogs. They, of all pets, need the most care. Many are abandoned or mistreated because they require too much care. Some dogs are chained outdoors, with little protection from the weather. Many lack exercise because their owners are too lazy to bring them out for walks or don’t want to get wet due to the rainy weather.

Report any type of animal abuse you witness and try to stop it. Adopt animals from nearby Dog Rescues or the SPCA instead of buying new pets from a pet shop.
