Most people adopting pets for the first time want to do so because they look cute and cuddly from a distance. After adoption, when they see the responsibility involved, they abandon them on the street. Because you're cleaning litter box poop, they get sick and vet bills add up, the emotional burden, food, vitamins, toys, bed—all of this creates a financial obligation. You can't leave them alone at home for more than a few hours. When you do, they cry after you, sometimes get angry and pee around the house. Their stomach gets upset and they vomit. So it's equivalent to the responsibility of caring for another person. I think before people adopt animals, they should be shown all these processes in a simulation and then asked if they still want to. Because that cute animal you see from the outside is actually a workload.



For example, my cat doesn't want to walk around the house. She always wants to be held and cuddles, she even sleeps on me, and when she sleeps and wakes up, she jumps and hops around so I usually can't sleep. I'm not complaining—I love her a lot and none of this is difficult for me—but not everyone can handle it. That's why if we don't want adopted animals to be abandoned on the street, I think people should experience this lifestyle before adoption. Because after adoption, they become a member of the household, and abandoning them on the street is the same as throwing out a family member.
