Hello,
I have a comment on this subject as well. You're definitely not alone feeling "upset" by people getting rid of their dogs / pets. I posted a message on Petfinder once about this topic and received a lot of angry responses. I just stated that: "I didn't understand how people can up and get rid of their beloved pets".......I must have hit a soft spot. (I had people that if I had met them, would probably want to rip my face off.) I had people tell me that: who the h*** am I to say what's good for a person to do, that I obviously had not been in a situation like their's before, etc. Well, fortunately I haven't and I'm grateful for that! If I had to give my dogs up......geez, I don't know what I would do......probably sit and cry. I'm very attached to them. I don't have children yet so, they're like my babies. I had 1 woman tell me, it's no different than giving up a child. What does that mean?! I agree there may be circumstances which are unavoidable but, it seems that this happens so often. Why is it that we live in a society that is so evil? I mean seriously, I was asking my husband this question tonight. I'm probably going to get bashed for this but, I'd like people to tell me, why animals (poor innocent animals) are abused on a daily basis? Why there is abuse (period) to children, women, men ( in some cases)? Why is this such a crazy world we live in? This may not be the area to write in but, you got me thinking on this subject.....I apologize if I upset anyone. I'm also just venting and wondering if other people feel this way???
