Electronic pets: Good or bad?

[flipgirl]

I think there are a lot of people out there who should have electronic children as well..they'd do a lot better job!

Electronic pets are fine - I think the tamaguchis (sp?) are great in teaching kids responsibility.

However, it is sad to see all those animals stuck in shelters and no where to go. If I had the money and the time, I'd adopt them all! I think mixing breeds for the sake of money and the lack of commitment and research from people who get a dog for the wrong reasons like they think a dog is cute are why there are so many. I can't say I don't agree with mixed breeds as long as breeders are doing it for the sake of improving a breed. Bulldogs are really a mixed breed if you go long way into their history. Purebreds are suffering from a shrinking gene pool and there are also those breeders breeding purebreds with defective genes for money.

Having said that, it is great that there are shelters for these animals and wonderful people who take their time, money and love to care for them. Blaming electronic pets is just another way of escaping responsibility.

I don't think electronic pets are good they should of never been made
