That is so sad! But unfortunately not very rare.
Diva is 4 years old and I cannot even think about what life would be like without her. There's no way in H-ll, I would ever let her go.
Sadly many, many people treat animals like they are disposable. They love them when they are new, but when ever something new comes along, they don't have time for them anymore. Craigslist, on a daily basis, has pets that are over 3 years old that are being "rehomed" for crazy, selfish reasons.
As a teacher for 16 years, I can also tell you that many people really do treat their kids the same way. They love them as a newborn, but as soon as the newness wears off, they barely take care of them. I see examples of this every day.
It's a sad world for lots of kids and pets. |
