Pet dysfunction in western society

The ASPCA would not be necessary if the demand for "pets" didn't exist to the extent that it does now. Many people who purchase pets in a thoughtless manner never really considering the full picture of  they do not plan properly. Perhaps buy a dog for a child, then because of bad planning, no knowledge of the cost of the pet, not thinking about regulations in the apartment or condo, nieghborhood they live they are forced to discard the pet. Many may try to give away the pet but with so many pets already in existence and put to death at animal shelters the pet get's discarded at a park somewhere or in a strange nieghbor hood, to be taunted by school children at the nearby school, when the pet is looking for food or becoming a victim of abuse etc..

These things would never happen if the demand for pets was reduced. Institutions like the ASPCA would not need to exist. Animal rights groups would not need to exist if the public was educated properly and instead of buying pets thoughtlessly decided to put the money to good use saving the life of an orphan.

This page lists (blank number) of different pet charities that would not be necessary if pet ownership were more closely regulated and people were educated about responsible pet ownership.
