Don't you think is time to set all pets free to wilderness as used to be and care more about your own species?

Answer 1

That would be very unwise. Groups like PETA make that very same argument. Have you ever thought of what would happen if you turned them loose?

1.) In the winter you would risk many of them getting pneumonia.

2.)You would also risk many of the babies freezing to death in the winter.

3.) Due to lack of vaccinations you would have them coming down with many different diseases that would basically be almost as cruel as starving them to death.

4.) You would have pet populations growing exponentially causing starvation and a high increase of disease.

5.) Many of the animals would get killed by predators or starve to death for lack of food or due to the lack of abilities to find food.

6.) With animals like dogs, you would risk the animals attacking people. Couldn't you imagine letting pitbulls run loose?

7.) You would totally disrupt the ecological balance. This is already happening in Florida where people have turned loose boa constricters and pythons and where the the temperature is warm enough for them to live and breed. They have no predators and may wipe out other species. Or could you imagine if people turned their pet piranhas loose in Florida waterways? Not good.

Answer 2

I think it's time to set all humans free, to make wilderness more a part of their experience and lives. Abandoning our beloved pets would not make us more free, but less.

Love frees people from the isolation they experience because of being made into conditioned animals by the school system and government.

The ways we care for our own species is by war, politics, prisons and other violence. I, personally, don't want to be taken more care of but less.

Answer 3

Most people that have pets and provide a loving enviroment for animals......usually donate money and time to charities.....Its also a fact that people that abuse animals will also abuse humans. I have always cared about people and I have always loved animals since like I was born. I don't see how having or caring for animals would affect the way human lives would be aversely affected. Some people for example can't have children or find having children not an option and thay adopt animals to fulfill their nuturing side. I have children and never put an animal first but I don't ignore or neglect animals. Animals should not be punished due to lack of compassion by humans. I advocate spaying and neutering animals so the problems don't increase for the animal population...but not as a way to hurt them. I really can't see where in the "wilderness" these domesticated animals would find proper food supply or shelter as humans have spread out so widely. What about the way that some pets help our species in life? they protect us and do show love to us...elderly people have "someone" to care for and actually some older adults only get up in the morning because they are "needed" by their pet who has become their best friend or a child to them. developmentally disabled children benefit from pets as a form of therapy, what about the blind who are all alone but can find there way through the assistance of a domesticated dog? Animals all can benefit humans as we can benefit them , I think a few dollars a month to feed the pet, is worth all the love and entertainment he gives me and my children. By the way my husband is muslim and doesnt like pets indoors(even though its allowed)when I was at school one day, my cat tiger got out the back door and my mom said my husband ran like mad after the cat and got him for me...because he knows how I would feel without my "friend".

Answer 4

It depends. One goldfish or turtle would probably do no damage unless it spread disease through the wild population and wiped it out. However, if there is another released pet of the same species, you could set up a colony of the pests, displacing the native fishes or turtles that should be living there. Goldfish are not native to the U.S. but I have seen a population of them living in the Finger Lakes, in a place that should have native fishes. Red eared sliders are the most common pest species of turtle, with colonies all over the place outside their natural range. They often displace other turtles on the threatened or endangered species lists. Pets should never be "set free"; they should be given to someone who can give them a good home. Don't get me started on the kids who relased piranhas that had outgrown their tank.

Answer 5

I don't think we have enough wilderness for all the pets in the world left. We used it all. Most dog breeds couldn't hunt. It is no longer fin their blood. Also, big dogs would be killing little dogs. They'd all eventually die from not being vaccinated. Same goes for cats. Besides, if you take care of a pet like you are supposed to, there is nothing wrong with sharing your home with them! So animals shouldn't be kept as pets like big cats and wolves. I just don't think this is a good idea. Like I said, they'd all die from not being vaccinated. However, we should lower the unwanted pet population. If you can't afford to spay and neuter a dog or cat, don't own one! If you can't afford proper food or don't have the time to give it lots of love and attention, don't own one! By the way, did you know that there is evidence that cavemen kept dogs as companions much like we did?

Answer 6

No way! We care enough about our own species. Pfft. It's time we cared more about the wildlife, stop breeding because there's too many pets and if they're not wanted tehy're usually killed which is horrible. I disagree about putting pets in the wild, however, because many pets are bred to be house pets and it might be considered cruel if we did so because we would be guaranteeing (correct word?) that our pets would die sooner in the wild than if we kept them.

Answer 7

Who's going to feed them all, or do you suggest the animals eat each other ? No, sorry, don't agree with you. There would be wild animals out on the streets...and what do you say about zoo animals, turn them free too ? I can care for all species, including my own, which comes first.

Answer 8

i dont think it is time to set all pets into the wilderness as they simply could not survive on their own being tamed for so long in a house. i have a cockateil and i would love to set him free as he does my head in but my mam sed i cannit let him out because the other birds will eat him!

Answer 9

Most horses dogs cats iguanas ect. are domesticated. They would not be able to survive in the wild. I agree that if you cannot take care of your pet you should give it away to another person or an animal shelter. I love my pets!

Answer 10

Most of 'our own species' would be jolly upset if you came and took all their precious pets away!
