Every year pets are given as gifts. Every February or March, humane organizations get most of them back. Statistics show that around 50 percent of pets given as gifts end up in shelters. Taking on the responsibility of a pet is a 15-20 year commitment. Make certain the entire family agrees on a pet. Do lots of research and make sure everyone wants a pet. And remember. . .

Please!! No pets as gifts!!

Ja det er nok maange som benytter julen til å gi dyr, uten å ha tenkt godt nok igjennom det. Synd.

[Cavalier&Collie]

Litt morsom, men også seriøst

Det er dumt med dyr som gaver noen ganger

Synes ikke den var noe særlig morsom! Bare trist.. tenk hvor mange dyr som må lide pågrunn av dette..

Greit å gi dyr til julegave hvis du VET at personen ønsker seg det, og kan ta vare på det., Men man må jo aldri gi et dyr til jul uten å vite at personen vil ha det. Man kan jo ikke tvinge folk til å leve med dyr hvis de ikke vil det.. Dessuten må man jo tenke på dyret også! Hva om personen ikke vil ha dyret, hva blir skjebnen til dyret da..!?

Jeg ønska meg alltid hund til jul når jeg var liten, men pappa sa alltid en hund er ikke en jelegave, det er et familiemedlem. Nå når jeg er eldre forstår jeg det veldig godt.

Det er trist når folk bare vil ha en søt valp til jul og ikke har tenkt gjennom alt arbeidet det er

[Monika!]

=D> bør være gjennomtenkt det å gi dyr i gave, hadde jeg fått en hund i julegave som jeg har ønska meg i mange år, hadde det nok vært mer gjennomtenkt enn som så.
