Irreponsible Owners  

I can't seem to get why people get pets when they don't want to deal with the reasonability that comes with it in the first place? Why get a dog knowing that you don't want to take the time out of your life to walk it on a daily basis. Or adopt a cat when you don't want to bother cleaning the litter box at least once a week. Haven't these people watched the Animal Planet? Hell, the news has had segments about this topic. They've all said the same thing: GETTING A PET MEANS RESPONASBILITY.

It isn't that hard to get. Really.

My former nextdoor neighbor gave her dog up simply because she didn't want to walk it. Knowing here, I'm betting it had to do with the fact that the dog lost its initial puppy cuteness. What kind of message is that gone to send to her daughter? That you can give up a dog once you get bored of it? I could understand if it bit her or if they didn't have the room for it. But they gave it away simply because they didn't want to walk it. That's just laziness in my opinion. But in the long run it is better that they gave it away before they gave up on other 'chores.' (They didn't have a fenced in backyard, so letting it out for more then ten seconds wasn't a bright)

Then there's people who'll beat them animal to death and then claim that the only reason they did it was because the animal bit them. My cat has bitten me dozens of time, and you don't see me bashing her skull open with my own fists.
