You are an absolute piece of shit if you get a pet and
 

then abandon it. If you are an old fuck, a poor fuck, a sick fuck, or just a stupid fuck you should never even attempt to own a pet.

A pet is not a "thing" to be discarded the moment life gets complicated for you.

these people are both poor and stupid

[Steve Albin, president of the nonprofit NetPets, says he's found temporary homes for 8,000 military pets nationwide since starting his Military Pets Foster Program after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

"Even though this is available, there's still the 5 percent of the military, they say, `Nah, we'll get another pet when we get back,'" says Albin, a retired dog breeder in North Myrtle Beach, S.C.]

people do this shit with kids and you are bitching about a pet?

wake up.

i dont know how people can be mean with animals especially dogs and catsthey are so friendly and so loyal once you have a pet with the time they become a family member...

Kids OR pets,... abandonment sucks. People that do that need some sense beaten into them.

my dogs are my kids therefore i would never abandon them.

No question about it....My dog needs more of my time. :(

I don't get how people can get rid of a pet when "there's no more space".
