I am not a dog-person, but I've worked with cats all my life. Adopting a pet is a serious commitment and it is disgusting how some people think a puppy or a kitten is like a pair of shoes. Buy it, try it, and if it doesn't fit throw it away.

Don't get me started on the real crazies that buy exotic snakes and reptiles and let them go into the wild. So, we have deadly snakes that are not native to the U.S. taking over our wetlands and Everglades because there's no predator to keep them in check.

Some people are just so insensitive and stupid when it comes to pets. It's maddening, frightening and so, so sad.
