We get one call a day on an average about how people are not able to keep the animals they love so dearly in their lives due to some reason or the other. Here is what I have to say about this. Please read on.
If the answer to 'Would you give up your pet for XYZ reason?' is Yes, then at some point in life, you will be able to do all of the above.
I am not saying that you will do a, b or c because you give up your pet , but that you are capable of doing a, b and c.
A choice is rarely ever made because someone holds a gun to your head. A choice is made because you prioritize something over the other.
There is nothing in this world which you and I cannot do. It is a matter of thinking, planning and execution always.
Everybody always has a choice of 'Never saying Never'. It is about our ability to exercise that choice.
Think about it.
Just because you do not have the courage to take care of your pet in a situation which most likely you created yourself, why should that poor being which trusts you with its life suffer? Why should your pet bear the brunt of the situation?
If you know yourself to be such a non committal person, then do not get pets at all.
The animal or bird does not see you as a non committal jerk, but as its parent who will love them and care for them forever.
Remember that had we lived in an ideal world, it would have probably lived with its parents and then once it came of age, would fly away or make its own clan or move away. But since we (human beings) have interfered and messed with the cycle of life, we cannot really talk about the pets we have being with their own parents.
On a parting note, what you do to your animal speaks volumes about you as a person.
How you keep them, how you treat them, the decisions you make for them shows what you could do if you were king and the world was your kingdom.
You are the king of the animal and it respects you with all its life.
a) Would you put your parents in an old age home while you are still alive and capable against their wishes just because it is too much work to take care of them?
b) Would you give up your child because it is cries too much and makes too much noise?
c) Would you give up your wife / husband and children if you got a better job and had to move to a new place?
