Pets have needs apart from the basic ones of food, water and shelter. I've seen too many people, even in my neighborhood, who treat their pets with all the consideration they would a chair, like just another furnishing. They discard them just as easily. Why do they even bother?

I think that people forget that a pet is family, too. It's a "throw away" culture that we live in. I have four pets right now (2 cats and 2 dogs) and 3 of them were just freely given away by their owners who did not want them anymore. The 4th one was adopted from the pound.
I think a lot of people fall in love with the cute fuzzy puppy or kitten and don't bother to do research on what kind of dog or cat would really suit their lifestyle. Then the cute, fuzzy puppy grows up to be an 80 lb dog, and they would rather get rid of it, then put the effort into training or exercise.
People tend to think "It's just a dog" and not recognize that they have feelings, too.
Hope this helps!

Well, some people are vain... they "need" to be at their best at all times. To ensure that, they take time to choose what to wear to suit the day, their mood or to look the best. Whereas a pet is not part of them (to some people), thus it does not matter if he/she chooses pet A/B... so might as well just anyhow choose 1...

I agree.I have an ignorant neighbor who just keeps bringing kittens into the world and then tries to pawn them off on everyone in the neighborhood.
Finally I got fed up,and said "Do you even know what SPAY means?"
We are no longer on speaking terms.
Oh well.

people are in love with the idea of having a pet, but not with standing up to treat their pets with love and care

For the same reason some people spend more time planning a wedding than picking the groom.
