On Humane Society seeing more abandoned animals
Posted on December 1 at 9:05 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
If you can't afford $35+ for an animal, how are you going to be able to properly take care of the animal in the first place? Food, litter (cats), vet care, emergencies? It can get pricey. If you can't afford the adoption price, you shouldn't be getting the animal.
.
If someone is looking for a purebred animal, why not check out a purebred rescue? Petfinder.com is a good site. Some animals even come with papers (AKC), some animals are still babies, but most are teenagers and adults. It's an option though. They would also be much healthier than the animals from petland, as these people who foster the purebreds aren't doing it for the money, they're doing it for the love of animals. There's a big difference. (actually, I think it's all volunteer).
.
Also, SPAY AND NEUTER please! Check out the statistics of how many animals are put down in a month, simply because there's no room for them. It's very sad. Some animals are still just babies, too.
.
To me, my cat IS my child, and I'd do everything in my power to keep her. However, I also realize that the world doesn't see animals as the same as people, and it's not so easy to find state aid to help out with your pet when times get tough.

Just because a husband helps his wife out on Black Friday doesn't mean he's whipped. I'm sure he loves his wife very much and they each do compromising. That's what a relationship is all about; you do things for each other that you wouldn't be doing otherwise.
.
That's one of the major problems with relationships and people in general these days. Your buddies will tell you that you're whipped because you're doing something for your wife. They tease you about it and before long, that husband no longer will do things for his wife. The compromises are gone and so is the relationship. Then you just become another statistic, you're just one more person who's marriage ends in divorce.

lilbobby, if who you are on the inside would show on the outside, nobody would want to look at you. I'm sure the lady in the picture is very nice and caring and it's unfortunate that there are people like you in this world.

garyprimer - I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that the gazette said that these theives are bad drivers to get people to be more cautious. Not only may your vehicle be stolen, but when it's found, it may also be destroyed. Hopefully people wouldn't have the mindset of "My car is gone, oh well. I'll just wait until the police find it and everything will be OK."

Mymaro, I don't know the technicalities between the components of second hand smoke of cigarettes vs marijuana, but I do know that they're both not good for the body. In a sense, yes, I'm saying it's the same.
.
For the record I'm not a parent and never will be. Kids aren't my thing. However, I know I could be a much better parent than those breeders out there who don't even do drugs.
.
Also for the record, I'm not a pot smoker.

"...while I dont think there is anything wrong with smoking a little pot, it is wrong to do it with your baby on the bed with you."
--What about all of the parents who smoke cigarettes around their kids? The only thing wrong I can think of about smoking with the baby on the bed is the fact that it'll be inhaling the smoke too. But isn't that what happens when the parent/relative/whoever is a (cigarette) smoker too?
--Of course this guy is definitely an irresponsible person and the fact that pot was involved is going to give the drug more of a bad rep. Drugs set aside, this guy shouldn't be a parent.
--The pot didn't influence this guy's behavior. That's the difference between pot and alcohol. Most things that people do while drunk, they don't do when sober. Most things that people do when high, they'll also do sober.

Sarcasm is difficult to determine when you're reading something that someone typed out (vs hearing it). It's also difficult to determine when you don't know an individual's personality. It's also difficult to determine when you don't know what the heck someone is talking about, and you're stuck behind a monitor, confused as heck.
