Mostly I've been noticing this for our small animal companions, but it doesn't matter the size or replacement cost of the animal, treat it right.
I completly agree with you, there has been numerous thread that have made me angry, because people are not being a responsible owner and reserching. Some animals live for atleast 20 year if proberly cared for, and no one is realizing this before buying. If you want the animal, get the right size tank, before you get the animal. whoo that was a realif!
