I think his intentions are good but his delivery is poor. No parent should get a pupy or any animal for their child unless they really intend to take full responsibility for the pet themselves. Most kids lose interest in a pet after a certain amount of time or as their lives and interests change. It's just wrong to get a pet and then re-home it because the child has lost interest. It happens way too often. They either re-home the pet or it gets tied out back to a dog house. Kids are going to want pets but the parents are the ones that need to be responsible. If they are not willing for the commitment then they need to say no. Pets are not disposable.
All animals are going to get old if they are blessed enough to live that long and anyone who gets a pet should be prepared to deal with that. |
