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

Being a responsible pet owner includes neutering or spaying them to prevent diseases and unwanted pregnancy in females. I still see strays here in our area because the local authorities are not prioritizing animals laws. More importantly, owners just let their animals go if they cannot feed it anymore and they don't have the money to bring it to the vet for check up. There are currently only two known animal shelters in the Philippines since animal laws are still developing in our country. People should definitely decide and consider their economic status before considering getting any pets. They will be considered as the nuisance of society for being irresponsible.
