What are they going to do when their little beloved pet that they couldn't afford to buy in the first place needs vet treatment and they cannot afford to get it? Are they going to beg for that too? I know I sound a little harsh, but it's the truth. This day and age, people want more than what they can afford and properly take care of. If you can't afford it and you can't afford the care it will take, the foreseeable and not, then you shouldn't own it...PERIOD. |
youre right that is harsh. . . but there is an answere. pet insurance isnt that expensive. And people that can afford a pup sometimes come into hard times as well.... i will not have a job for a while,because i will enter teh credential program, does that mean i should get rid of my yorkie? I should hope that people wouldnt jump into any situation that they could not handle and that they really think the situation through, not everyone does think this way and this is the reason that yorkies end up in rescues. It is not just from us people that can not afford a $1000 + puppy, owners die, pets get lost, there are a zillion things that happen and reasons that yorkies end up in homes other than they started out. I am not saying that this issue isnt a factor, but it certainly isnt as serious as some people make it out to be
