And PS:

"Animal lovers" do not neglect their pets nor hit them or smack them. Most don't raise their voice to their pets.

"Animal lovers" care for and love the creatures they have been blessed to adopt, find, or get in their lives.

• Many would shut off their internet or cable or eat rice or stop buying "extras" etc.... to pay a vet bill for their sick pet.

You should stop getting animals until you can afford them and learn to control your behaviors. A 10-pound creature does not stand a chance against 120-200 pound person.
