That and cutting off ears/tails. STOP already!!!

The sharks die by DROWNING. It's barbaric.

ADOPT DON'T SHOP. I feel like I have to say this so many times. Look for a pet at your local shelter. Give them a chance. I promise that an adopted pet knows that you saved them. In my experience they are always the sweetest.

Just ban advertising then... all of it is a gross exaggeration.

Not to mention the robbery with all these "seed faiths" and donations preying on vulnerable persons.

Not for free. The people who spend months and years writing them need to earn money from their work.

This should be the only thing on this post.

Like parrots who outlive their owners. If you want to buy one (please do your research ofc); find an adult parrot.

I agree, do not take on the responsibility if you can't afford it or don't have much stability. However, I have also seen responsible pet families that had a drastic change of situation after many years. And ppl will still give them a hard time when trying to re-home a beloved family pet member. Those ppl may have run out of options by that time. We don't always know their full story. In the end, I think they are being responsible by trying to re-home and give their pet a better life to someone who's situation is better. (I know this is not everyone, but I've seen it happen to good ppl.)

Worse-people that can but won't. Pets are family members NOT accessories.

This one makes my blood boil. If this animal isn't your top priority then move on. You are their entire world. Do NOT abdomen them because you "had to move" or some other nonsense. BS! then take them with you or don't move. You'd have to physically hurt me to get my dog. She is mine and I promised to give her a good life and will keep it.

My Grandparents adopted a cat (from a litter my cat had). They knew their cat may outlive them so they stated in their will that if he outlived them he would go to a specific cousin of mine. After my Grandparents passed the kitty went on to live an additional 5 years with my cousin until he passed at 18 years old. He was just as pampered & loved as he was with our Grandparents; The Emperor (not his real name but the nickname my Grandmother gave to him. My point if you think your beloved pet may outlive you make arrangements ahead of time to make sure they will be loved and taken care of for their life. 🙂

I agree with this, however nobody can predict the future and personal medical issues, unplanned moves, etc can all play a part in the need to rehome an animal. It's not always a "oh I just don't like this dog/cat/bird anymore" or "ugh it's too loud/dirty/expensive" type of situation.

I'm sensing a theme...

And tortoises!

Wait! What about human kids? :)

Amen to this

I've had my phone for the past 3 years and it's a gem. It's not even high end, it's a based model ASUS and it does everything I need it to. It fell numerous times and haven't broken!

Probably have heard this elsewhere but "Glitter is the herpes of the craft world."

In their defense, I don't think they have any medicinal properties at all, but the schisandra/kuchika/chicory/dandelion "detox" teas are quite delicious.

I want one of those egg things that turn into a tree.

An explanation would help, why is palm oil so bad?

I've tried to quit so many times throughout the years. I've tried every product and cold turkey. I can get over the physical addiction just fine. It's the mental addiction I can't get past.

poor babies can't breathe

The 'Microbead-Free Waters Act of 2015' phased-out and effectively banned the sale of these products in the US in 2019.

Absolutely! I have bought hardly any new items of clothing in a decade. I buy most of my clothes at thrift stores.

Diamonds are overrated and there are lots of gems more attractive.

dear lord, why did that take me a second to realise it didn't say "men loving men scam"

refilling a single use bottle does actually cause germ growth though. You need a reusable bottle than can be cleaned.

81% of plastic ocean polution comes from Asia. Africa 8%, South America 6%, North America 5%, Europe <1%

Pink Lady apples are my fave

or learn to make coffee

They own like 1/6 of all the global food brands...

I never heard of such a thing.

Leave them alone to grow

Europe has started a "0 plastic" campaign. progressively any avoidable plastic is prohibited

This is why I stick with freshwater fish. My betta is perfectly happy in his ~30 gallon tank, and I'm getting him some more tankmates soon.

Just be sure to buy all the brain training apps first, to make certain you are the superest smart.
