How can you do that to your loving pet? The pet doesn’t deserve to be out there alongside you, in the cold, struggling and suffering over some of the poor decisions you’ve made in your life. They didn’t ask for this and they don’t deserve this. Give them up to adoption.

(Blocking uncivil responses. I know this magazine possesses some very argumentative people who argue just to hear themselves argue)

    You really need to do some thinking on how people become homeless. You’re probably only a major accident or job loss away from being threatened by it. A good chunk of the homeless population only became homeless because they have mental disorders that were under treated by our busted healthcare system and lack of social safety nets.

    Punching down at the most vulnerable people in our society does not make you look good.

      I did but everyone here is just virtue signaling so there’s really no point in trying to defend my case when everyone is trying desperately to pad their own PR.

        Your suggestion to “give them up for adoption” is a tad ignorant. Over half of dogs surrendered are euthanized.

        This entire post reads like an observation through the window of mom’s Mercedes.

        Maybe volunteer at a few shelters and get back to us.

          Damn that is a great way to describe the kind of privileged ignorance and lack of empathy seen here. I’ll be using this later.

        There’s no point in defending your case because you don’t have a defence for your case. Deflecting on to everyone else is such a weak cop out. People aren’t virtue signaling, you’re just an asshole with a bad opinion and you want to pretend that everyone else is the problem so that you don’t have to acknowledge that you might be the problem.
