Some people really don't deserve pets...

1. Pets are NOT for kids

2. Pets are NOT a toy

3. Pets HAVE emotions

4. Pets NEED love, devotion, and time

5. If you can't give them a loving home, then you don't need them 

 

A few days ago I discovered a terrible sight when I went outside to take the garbage out. Next to the garbage, there was a cardboard box and I usually wouldn't pay much attention to it if I didn't notice my neighbor's cat circling around it. So, you know what they say curiosity killed the cat. I decided to walk over and see what was all the fuss about and as I open the box I find a cage. 

In the cage, there were 6 hamsters. Two of them were Russian breed and four were Chinese. Five females, one male. Some idiot threw them out like they were some old item that he/she didn't need anymore. So, I took them in (I had to take them in, I just didn't have the heart to leave them), and now they are part of my small family that consists of: 

1. Two Thai fighter fish

2. Two Degu's

3. Two Syrian hamsters

4. One Russian hamster 

So now, when I add these 6 hamsters it is a total of 13 pets, and it's really not a problem to take care of all those cages, but it's a shame what kind of society we have become. 

How can one throw out a living thing? Just because they are animals it doesn't mean that they have no emotions, no feelings. We need to take care of them and I really despise people who buy an animal under the excuse that they love animals and then they throw them out. 

I grew up with all sorts of animals like dogs, cats, fish, ferrets, hamsters, mice, rats, guinea pigs, chinchillas, etc. And not once did my family or I think about throwing them out. I even volunteered in shelters, so honestly, I don't understand people who do such things. 

Pets are not to be bought for kids because they can't take care of them. They are NOT a toy. But some people have no freaking emotions and it's sad -.- 

Congrats! We have become a wonderful society!

It’s so sad that people can do that to animals they take in. I myself know a person who took in a puppy after puppy only to give them away after a few months.

Lot of people don’t realise that if you decide to take a pet you need to be responsible and take care of it! It might expensive too so it should be a serious decision not just a wish to have a pet. Some people want a kitty and a puppy when they are small, cute and adventurous, once they grow up some people just stop caring which is disgusting.

I just wish that we as a society would be more responsible about those we take in or about any decision we make.

I am happy that you took in the hamsters!

Well. You are right even if you could push your reasoning a little further : Does animal reign have to be domesticated at their expense for human selfish satisfaction?



In my family we had only cats, autonomous one, free to leave the house and garden, that we only fed and give vaccine shot to protect them ( and rub and lol) but we didn't force them to stay with us ( even if none left) we know they can eat without our help, clean themselves...



But I'm 36 and I still don't understand the point to have fish outside their natural living place ( river, pound sea, ocean, lake...) beside for the sake of admiring them so literally putting them at the same level of a poster on the wall... they are not free to leave you, they are not in control of their own life. And yes they could die of disease or being eaten in their natural environment but that's how life goes.

So for anyone reading that ask yourself if adopting ( capturing, abducting, sequestrating in some cases) an animal is for its own good or for yours only? If buying one is not contributing to continue the merchandising/slavery of an autonomous specie.
