The cost of living is very high in our country - people are cutting on their grocery. Most of the people are giving up on the pets as well because its difficult to keep dogs and cats because of the ban on imported items. Life is very difficult these days
What country are you from?
What do the people do with the cats and dogs? Just give them up to a charity or something more sinister?
I feel like pets are our responsibility. We bought them and it is our responsibility to make sure they have a good quality of life.
I can't ever imagine giving my dog away, I would honestly rather skip meals and give them to him instead of giving up on him.
