January seems to be a good month for adoptions: we had four this week and only had two cats left at the end of the day.
Why the fuck can't people study whatever animal they want, before getting it?
If you come to dA to ask about pit bull care (or what to do with a sick kitten, or to beg for money for vet bills), it is clear you are not equipped to care for your pet.
Even if there are no places near you that can help, a quick google about pretty much any type of pet will lead to posts in forums specifically about that animal. Forums filled with breeders and other owners who know a lot.
If you haven't found such a place, it's a clear sign that you can't be bothered to do the tiniest thing to ensure your pet is taken care of.
Most breeders and pet owners in general will happily write looooong texts about their pets. They love them and want to help others see how great they are too. It's an awesome resource, and it's there for you just a google away!
For example: Some guinea pig owners in my country are better at diagnosing over the internet than most vets are when handling the pig, because they've loved g-pigs for so long, and vets are only just lately bothering to know more about them. (About 15 years ago, vets used to say that a sick guinea pig was a dead guinea pig, since people didn't bother taking them to get treated, but just got them put down and got new ones.)
So you have this awesome resource to learn from before getting a pet, and should use it.
But no, no no! You see a critter, think it's cute, decide that you must have it, and don't give a shit about the rest.
Hell, it's the up-scale idiots who think to ask any questions anywhere. Most just get the animal, think they "can handle" it, and let things go awry.
