That's not dumped they gave them up.
I worked as a bartender and a medical officer at a jail.
An AZA zoo and a reptile park. I'm 52 years old.
I understand how stupid people are. I understand how irresponsible people can be.
I've lived out in the country for 25 years. Every cat(all 25 in 30 years) I've ever owned was a dump. My current dog was a dump.
Beautiful, young, healthy, intelligent dog. Dumped.
I understand.
But comparing dogs to snakes is assinine.
- Many more dogs are sold than pythons.
- But highend. MUCH MUCH larger percent of pythons are highend than dogs. Forget percentage I think there are more snakes over a $1,000.00 than dogs in this country. So highend dogs is a little of a misnomer.But lets say someone spends $500.00 for a Dobie. The same person spends $500.00 for an albino ball.
The person gets promoted at work their free time goes to nothing.
She does'nt have any free time. The Dobie is bored.
The dog craps on her $10,000.00 Persian rug. He is chewing up her Ethan Allen furniture. Yesterday he snapped at her 14 year old cat. He is eating her out of house and home.
Not interested in breeding and being responsible she spayed the dog long ago.
She has'nt had time to hit the pet store the ball python has'nt eaten in 3 weeks.
No logic involved. She loves the dog, she thinks the python is cool.
WHICH animal is this woman going to be more desperate to be rid of? Which animal will she be more willing to take a bath on and lose her original $500.00.
People will give up their pets, absolutely. But more people release dogs and cats than snakes. Not just percentage wise.D.C.
