I Adopted Your Pet Today - poem

I sent this to Cochrane Humane, as well as the 10 Commandments. They may have something similar already, but hopefully they will hand out the "10" in adoption kits.

If the poem will make people stop and think and prevent them from abandoning their pets, then it's served its purpose. But it won't make a difference to the ones who already did the deed; they have no conscience.

Such a great poem, it is bittersweet.

If my financial situation gets any worse, I might have to give up my kitties. Will I get hit with that poem? Hey, at least the pet was left at a shelter, where he/she would be cared for and found a new home.

Aw Liz, the poem wouldn't APPLY to you. No where does it say "couldn't afford the pet." It says "And no longer wanted around. " New baby, what ever.

Everyone here on PT knows darn well you WANT your pets! It just isn't always possible. Please don't take this poem as aimed at you or anyone in your situation. WANTED pets are a different matter entirely.

There are some reasons beyond our control, finances, nursing homes, or your health doesn't allow you to properly care for a pet. This poem is aimed at people who abandon their animals. I for one, will be praying that your finances allow you to keep your kitties. I know how much their sweet little faces mean to us! Good Luck!
