Pet Peeve

Okay, this is going to be short and sweet.
If you can't afford vet care or food for your animals, then give them away to a good home that can.
Having animals especially horses can get very expensive. Why can't people do a little more research into what is involved in caring for their animals. I think if people knew what was involved they would think twice. Animals don't just need a home they need love and care, they need regular vet visits, and good healthy food. They need to become part of your family, and treated with respect.
Too many people are going out and getting a pet only to realize this is too much work. These animals then end up on the street or in animal shelters, or worse dead.
Wake up people and please do a little research.

Amen to that. My pet peeve is when people get a dog that does not fit their lifestyle.

The dog has lots of energy but they don't walk it. Then the dog is constantly being berated and yelled at and it's not exactly the animals fault.

It's not the dogs fault. All they need to do is take a little time and research owning an animal. We see tooo many horses , dogs, cats and all the other pets that are abandon and left to die.

People who have animals, especially horses should be required to take a course and pass a test on how to care for and train the animal in their care. So many people do not have a clue as to when to call the vet, how to feed/train etc. Even though a person may love their animals does not mean they know how to properly take care of them.

That would be a great idea, taking a course, it should be mandatory. I am new to horses and If I thought for one minute that I would have any problems I never would have brought them home, sure we're learning the hard way, but I have friends, the vet , farrier, trainers who help me through the uncertain times, vets love me I call for the smallest thing.
