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

I think if you are taking you animal to the shelter/rescue then you are being responsible by giving it a second chance at a good life, although it should only be as a last resort, after you have tried friends, relatives advertising.
I don't think people should be fined for surrending their pet to the shelter/rescue as this may lead to people not wanting to go to shelter, as they may not be able to afford the fee.
if the pet is dumped outside the shelter/rescue or in the street or left behind in a house then yes a fine should be enforced, as they try to do on animal cops.
I haven't voted on the poll as the option i wanted to put isn't there.
