I think there are some legitimate reasons an animal may need to be rehomed, but they are few and far between - major family illness, allergies that cannot be controlled, financial issues (not buying tons of stuff and then realizing you can't afford your pets, but unexpected or major situations).
But in those cases it is the responsibility of the pet owner to find and screen new homes for their pets to make sure it is the best possible home life for them.
I don't get people that just "don't want" their pets anymore, I don't know how people can turn the love on and off. Maybe they never felt it to begin with. |
