We have a lot of people breeding yorkies poorly here in the US so people can get a poorly breed yorkie pretty cheap sometimes. I don't think some one should have to make a certain amount of money to own a dog I just think they have to be able to pay for and get the dog proper medical care and things the dog needs. A lot of people are having money problems and have outstanding bills and the dogs take the backseat and when there dog gets sick some either can't afford to take the dog to the vet or wont. But when getting a pet your finances play a big part. If you have many many bills that need to be payed and are hardly getting by getting a pet is not a good idea because with a puppy the first year is very expensive and its not fair to the dog if it has to suffer when it gets sick because you can't take them to the vet. No one is being rude or judgmental we are just seeing and saying how it is in the US. |
AND THE SAME IN UK TOO,, the shelters get over loaded after Christmas and there is also a ressession too . Good post
