I agree with Jenb completely. I actually have unofficial disaster plans for my animals, knowledge of how cheaply I can care for everybody, etc...
And there are certainly times where circumstances demand you must give up the pet, but nowhere near as many as there are people giving up their pets. To pugskjj's original point, the one that I just can't understand is "We've got a baby on the way", I know there are unplanned pregnancies, but really, if you are even considering a child or family, why did you get a pet a year
ago that you consider unfit around babies?? Just a complete lack of planning.
