if you can't afford a puppy or a dog do not go and get one they are a lifetime responsibility you don't take a dog or a pup and just put it out in the streets I hate people that's why I live with my dog and I love my dog I would never do that to her I'm beginning to love animals more than I do people

this is so heartbreaking to hear as I am an average animal lover and have many myself, I could never imagine just dumping my fur babies on the side of the road somewhere in the freezing cold or any other weather for that matter.. however I do not and did not agree that at the time of covid when everyone was adopting animals and even the the animal shelters and spca's were encouraging people to take a pet at the time no one thought of the recourse that would happen once covid was over and that in my opinion is exactly why people are realizing that maybe they shouldn't have taken a pet or they can't afford the pet or for whatever reason having to go back to work all that stuff comes into play, and I predicted that this was going to happen when I saw that the shelters were giving them away without even having to vet the people. it is a crying shame and now we have a backlash of it.
