Do you think people who abandon their pets should be fined?

The reason behind I say fine or charge the people who take their pets to the shelter is because too many of them just think shelter is a place to get ride of their pets without feeling guilty. Among them, many are also simply bored with their pets. Taking a pet to the shelter without a good reason is still no better than abandon them on the street. So I say a fee should be applied for those who dump their pets at the animal shelter, while a higher penalty should be applied when someone simply drop their pets off on the street.

You might think it is a little harsh to those who take pets to the animal shelter, but it will make irresponsible people think twice before jumping onto the bandwagon of getting a pet, then decide they get bored with it soon after.

The rule should be signed by anyone who buys a pet. That should cut down the poor planned pet ownership by a lot, which in return will reduce the amount of abandoned pets.
