The Plight Of Unwanted Anilmals

Vietnam has launched a crackdown on hamsters, a wildly popular pet here in the current lunar Year of the Rat, fearing an influx of the foreign-bred rodent fur balls could spread disease and destroy crops.

Why oh why do us humans never learn? Whose fault is it? Not the hamsters for sure! Did they ask to be taken from the desert and bred for captivity? NO!



We can learn so much from animals and the world would be a far better place if we did! Us humans think we're so superior but, truth be known animals are far more intelligent!

Do animals go to war? NO!

Are animals responsible for climate change? NO!

Animals need our help!

Hamsters are cute little creatures and make great pets. Their bred for the purpose for adults and kids the world over, to give loving homes to. Then in so many cases the novelty wears off and they become a nuisance! The feeding and the cleaning out become tiresome, and the poor little hamsters are left neglected and uncared for!

In some cases owners in there ignorance don't separate their hamsters, and this can lead to fights between the pets, resulting in injury and sometimes even death! On the other hand if the hamsters do get along and indulge in the mating ritual, two hamsters can soon become four or six! So what started out as two little pets can soon multiply into an entire family!

Ignorance is a terrible thing and you should never get a pet unless you've truly thought it through!

The little puppy or kitten doesn't stay that way forever, they grow up into adults! They need care and attention and not just when you feel like it and can be bothered!
Pets are a pleasure, they give you unconditional love 365 days a year, and all they ask for in return is to be cared for!

I've had the the honour and privilege of three wonderful cats which I had from kittens. Scruffy (whose mum was a feral cat) I got from a friend. Tish and Tosh I got from a pet shop. They all had long and happy lives.

When I decided about a year ago, it was time for me to get another cat I stopped and thought about it. Why not get an adult cat this time, one who needed re-homeing? There are so many unwanted pets looking for good homes!
So I contacted the Basildon and Brentwood Cat Protection League.

They did a home visit and I was accepted as suitable to adopt. Two weeks later I got Sooty and Whiskey.
They've made my life complete and I've been honoured and privileged once again! I couldn't wish for two better companions!

So where is all this leading?

There are thousands of animals the world over who desperately need our help!
They need a good homes. Organisations like the RSPCA, The Cat Protection League and The Humane Society (to name but three) are constantly looking for people to adopt unwanted animals!

All I'm asking is if you're thinking about getting a pet please, please consider going through an animal organisation. Pet shops are all very well, but there's no comparison when it comes to knowledge of a pet.
These people get to know an animals temperament and can give valuable advice! Plus they are always there if you have any problems. They keep in touch and you can depend on them! How many pet shops offer such a service? Their responsibility ends once you've handed them your money!
