| In a Throwaway Society, Companion Pets Are Forever |
|
By Vickie McKimmey, AFA Director & Governing Board Member
In the United States, more of us throw things away than save things. We live in a throwaway society. In many cases, however,
it's not just stuff that goes. More and more companion pets have become disposable. It seems that in our society people aren't
held accountable for their pets. This may be the way things are, but it doesn't make them right. When you take on the responsibility
of a pet, it should be for a lifetime. Many things in our society may be disposable, but companion pets should not be among them.
They deserve a lifetime commitment that actually extends from the day we take them in to the day they die in our care.
