Actually, there are laws in place in most states that will arrest & convict a pet owner for cruelty of an animal which includes "abandonment"!
Just watch "Animal Cops" on Animal Planet to see how they go to the rescue of an animal from abandonment all the way to the arrest & conviction of the pet owner in a real life court setting.
This situation makes me want to take it a few steps deeper...I might be alone in this theory but, I truly think that too many parents are the ones to blame for the way things are going these days. Let me explain...
I think it has a lot to do with a society where parents are giving their children "everything" without teaching them how to value & appreciate all of what they have...even a pet!
What else can we expect from a generation of people who never learned the value of anything? Thus, a "disposable" society...pets included!
