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.
And without realizing it, pets like dogs and cats, if we take good care of them and don't abuse them or let them starve, will make our luck easier. Let alone buying it and having to feed and care for it properly and having to be responsible for its life.
and if pets affect our difficult living circumstances, I don't think it makes sense because dogs and cats can eat what we eat, they don't need to be prioritized because of difficult circumstances, And most importantly animals still eat and live together. And I think cats and dogs are good animals and they can also protect us from things that we don't realize can harm us and can help us, and I don't agree that pets are related to our difficult economic situation. Because the animals we care for will make our sustenance easier, and I always feed and drink every day in front of the door every night for dogs or cats and any animals that eat them. And without me realizing what I was doing, no matter how difficult my economy was, there was always a solution and it was real.
