RE: Do you think people who abandon their pets should be fined?
The problem is too many pets are dumped at animal shelter each day, many had to be ... killed, after nobody wants to adopt them. By allowing free dumping at animal shelter, it is just giving a free way out for irresponsible pet owners. Charge a fee for dumping at animal shelter, charging extra fee for dumping them elsewhere. These are really not excellent methods but might be effective to reduce the amount of abandoned pets. By making new pet owners sign such agreement upon purchasing of a new pet, it will also reduce the bandwagon of irresponsible pet owners.
