I thnk yes if the parents teach the child ho to be responsible about iy and not go throw away yhe poor aninal when they get tierd of it. I yhink it can teach children responsibility and kindness. Buy what you people think?
Pets should never be giving as a 'gift' period . A dog or cat can live up to 12 yo. and they do not stay cute and little kitten and puppies for every long. A dog or cat should be the whole family responsibly , a child should never be left alone with a new pet . Too many pets end up being killed for biting a child and the child mostly get bitten in the face. There are better ways to teach a child responsibly , they make their own bed or have job to do around the house . Once when I was walking my last dog , Finlay I saw a teenage girl walking her dog. The girl dog saw Finlay and started to pull the poor girl off her feet and almost into the street to get to my dog. The girl was very lucky no cars where coming. The girl should had given the job of walking an untrained dog.
My answer is no.
I suppose you know that cats can live up to 20 yrs old. I m so pissed off at someone who gave up on kitty who was 22 yrs old because someone had no patience waiting for kitty to die for 22 yrs old so gave him up.
Right, as long as if Parents love animals then they can decide to allow kids to adopt pet. I am the one who takes care of four cats that my two kids wanted a cat each. They do their duty to give plenty of attentions to cats that i cant complain. They wanted a dog. I said, No because 4 cats are too much for us. I feel bad for kids because I do want a dog too!
