Teach your kids to leave animals alone if they walk away!
Teach your kids to put down an animal if they are struggling to escape!
It’s not that hard to teach kids that animals are living things and not toys!
I’ve been getting this petco ad that’s “our pets are just like us, why would we feed them any differently” I mean I agree in the sense that we should feed our pets well if we feed ourselves well but pets AREN’T just like us and that difference is important

A monthly or semi-annual journal for pet stores (owners, managers, employees) that contains updates on care info for various species, new product reviews that are actually accurate/useful in terms of appropriateness for intended species, updated info on pet health & new health issues to watch out for (new morphs with health issues, for example), how to set up store enclosures appropriately for various species…
Bonus articles that discuss methods to encourage owners into providing proper care, ways to improve quality of stock without losing too much income (phasing out dangerous items & bringing in good things), and info on setting up training & enrichment seminars.

People need to realize the significance of this post, because when I reblogged it it was just blank so I think some people may not understand what this is trying to say
Adopting an animal (or buying from someone close to you who has recently had puppies, kittens, etc) is not like simply going to the store and buying a toy. You do not just get to throw it away once you are done with it and it stops being cute in your eyes
This is a real living thing that has emotions, needs, and wants, not something to be thrown away when YOU are done after YOU entered at commitment to raise and care for this animal.
What’s just as bad as dumping the animal off just anywhere you want, whether it be on the side of the road or in a shelter, is that a lot of these animals end up dying after that. Animals are NOT always adopted and strays are not always picked up. Animals can get put down, run over, tortured, and a list of other things
People should really think about what they are responsible for before they bring an animal into their life
Not to mention that that animal loves you, you are his world, and when you drop him off at the shelter – or worse, in the street – you are abandoning him. He doesn’t know what he did wrong, he thinks you’ll come back, maybe you just dropped him off for a bit and you’ll come back to him. Not only did you make a commitment, but that animal loves you and throwing them away isn’t just breaking that commitment, it’s throwing away someone who doesn’t understand why you don’t love him anymore and where you went.
This is so important. Animals are NOT toys you just can’t return them because you got bored. Think first before you buy a cute little puppy for your stupid girlfriend or sister or whatever. Okay. This just make me so mad that I can’t keep talking about it. Seriously you have no heart if you do this. Seriously
With Christmas coming up in a few weeks, I felt this needed reiterating.
Reblogging for the holidays. Know what you’re getting into when buying a pet!
never trust a person who talk to their pets in their normal voice
NOT TRUE before my nephew leaves my home he always looks my dog straight in the eye and says “Delilah. You are a wonderful woman. Have a good day.”
Look we WANT to talk to our dog in a puppy voice but we can’t because he gets so excited that he pees himself so we gotta talk to him like he’s a man so we don’t clean up his piss all day
I talk to my cats in my normal voice, because I treat them like equals.
