Dear donor and friend, I think we agree that the abandonment of animals, justified with cheap excuses, is an act of irresponsibility and cruelty. Giving them away because of behavioral problems, don´t make them disappear, leaving them on the street or in a a sparsely populated area, exposes them to more traumas and deadly risks. Let’s have a look at the most common excuses, which we have to face on a daily basis:
Sadly enough, that is our reality in a consumer-oriented society with few ethical principles. What once was a cute puppy or kitten, shown as an art product on social media, turned into an old piece of trash without any sentimental value, replaceable, disposable, forgotten. And, let´s be clear, the problem is never the animal, they only react to the lack of compromise and education, to the monotony in their lives and the emotional abandonment that takes place long before the physical renunciation. The problem originates in the incapacity and unwillingness of the “pet owners” to focus on finding a solution, in order to deeply understand their animals’ needs and change their lives for better. It would have been preferable and less painful to buy a stuffed animal.
