Do you really think a domesticated dog/cat could be set free in the wild and survive? Could you? Really? for how long? Until you starved or something else killed you, right? A couple weeks...Whoo. at least if you were "put down" you would not have to deal with trying to survive, after you got sick and could barely move...once the temps dropped down to about freezing and you had pneumonia or something else. Domestic animals are not "wild" animals. They don't/can't fend for themselves. This is the reason we, as humans, have them, so WE can take care of them. We all here on this post share a common bond...animal lover, otherwise we would not be here, chatting our opinions. To all those new to being a pet owner...IT IS A RESPONSIBILITY...just as if you had a child to care for, it is a pet...not much different. Take responsibilty, and if you fail...shame on you, and all the others like you.
