What can happen to a pet that is given free to a casual, uncommitted owner?
*Abandoned to the streets. This is the most likely scenario that occurs when an uncommitted owner tires of a pet. Street animals suffer every day of their short lives. The end always comes painfully, either from violent trauma or from lingering disease. *Handed over to Animal Control and euthanized. People who do not take their responsibilities seriously always take the easy way out! *Marginally Owned. The pet will not be cared for properly and is often allowed to roam the streets. *Abused. The owner will not make the effort to properly train the animal. Often this leads to inappropriate responses from the owner and abuse of the pet when it “misbehaves”.
