Where puppies and kittens are gifts instead of Barbie and Ken and all things toys. We find so many being given to young children by their parents that its a huge worry. This little girl must be all of four and she came to get food for her new puppy - If the parents took responsibility for the pets and taught the children how to care for them it would be fine but its always the excuse that no its my child's dog they didn't feed it. My kind se hond we hear maybe 10 times a day. Dogs and cats are not toys yet because they are handed out free to all and sundry and as replaceable as batteries we find so many sick, starving or hurt beyond help. Its a very tough situation to navigate - today a woman refused to sign a dog for steri as its her sons dog, age of the son is 7 - try negotiate that one when the adult refuses responsibility.
