As some of you may already know, my possible future might include moving to L.A. Those of you who know me also know that I truly, desperately want a puppy. So, while paroozing the L.A. Craigslist for both apartments and puppies, I came across a post that really broke my heart.
I've got some pretty strong feelings about college students and pets. I think most of us (though I don't really include myself in this) aren't responsible enough to handle an animal. I've seen way too many pets neglected and sad because of the lack of attention they're getting from their owners. Also, a lot of you end up taking your pets back to the shelter because you just can't handle the situation.
Unfortunately, I've been there. I briefly tried o raise a kitten my sophomore year, and it was just way too much for me. Luckily for the kitten, though, I personally knew someone who really wanted her. Now, she has a wonderful home and is a spoiled little brat.
Most pets, though, are not as lucky as she was. Please read this Craiglist post that I've linked to my page, and really think about it before you decide to adopt a pet.
Animals have souls like we do. They hurt and feel like we do, too. Their lives are precious. Really give this some thought, people.
Night.
