We all love our pets. Humans have kept domesticated animals for thousands of years now and they provide us with companionship and protection while fulfilling our desire to nurture.

But having pets comes with great responsibility. To the animal obviously - this creature now relies on you for its quality of life and you need to ensure its physical and emotional needs are met. And to other people too - you should be able to look after your animal and keep it healthy and happy in such a way that doesn't encroach on the lives of others.

Simple really, isn't it? Well, not to everyone. This list, compiled by the good folks here at Bored Panda, is a catalog of shame, showing the times when pet owners were jerks not only to their poor animals but to society at large. From the liberal dumpings of excrement to just flat-out animal neglect, these people don't deserve to be let anywhere near an animal again, and makes you wonder if perhaps it was time people had to get a license to have a pet.

Scroll down to see what we mean below, and let us know your thoughts on the matter in the comments.

My Neighbour Was Evicted And Left The Family Cat. Looks Like I Have A New Cat

My Neighbour Was Evicted And Left The Family Cat. Looks Like I Have A New Cat

Jesuschooltrash Report

Bored Panda spoke to Tinsley Dahl from the Alliance for Responsible Pet Ownership, who kindly gave us some important points to remember before taking the big decision of getting a pet. It's not a responsibility to take lightly!

"Before you start meeting adorable puppy eyes or pretty kitten paws that you just cannot refuse, take some time to sit down with your family and consider your overall schedule and energy level," she said. "How long will you be gone during an average day? What’s your activity level? Do you spend weekends away from home? Do you take daily walks or do outdoor activities currently?"

"Sometimes life can be unpredictable, and if you’re planning any big lifestyle changes, these can be an important consideration. Planning on getting married or starting a family soon? Socialization will be key for your pet to ensure that your best buddy is welcoming of new family members. For dogs, obedience training and proper activity can be important to curb undesirable behaviors. Big changes can be very stressful for humans, and pets under duress can experience behavior and health changes due to stressful environmental changes."

I hate people most of the time, specially when an animal gives them unconditional love and they still treat them bad.

Although we do not know the story behind, I am tempted to ask why they would be allowed to adopt another animal at all.

A shelter would not allow someone to leave one dog then adopt another. Sounds like there was more to the story. If this dog was agressive with another family pet or something it would explain this a little better. I mean what other reason would they be there gathered around the dog ? Just to make it feel bad ? doesn't make sense.

If even, why bring him to a shelter (to be adopted by somebody else and have the same problems, put out it wasn't with another pet they had ?), to try to pick up another at the same shelter ? Those people don't deserve dogs, or cats or nothing else. If you're sentimentally cruel to your dog, you're cruel in several other ways.

If there's allergy then don't get another dog. It's a family member, you don't get rid of your family member, getting an animal is a lifelong commitment, you don't throw it out if you get bored, you take care of it and rehome it yourself or take it to the vet and have it put down. I hope their kids one day throw their parents away and never visit.

Wait...ok I get adopting an ADDITIONAL dog, or a REPLACEMENT after your beloved pet died, or even just a brand new (to you) dog when you had none before, but to drop your dog off and then adopt a new one? Only if there is a seriously good reason, like...the old dog seriously hurt a child, in which case it is likely court ordered to be put down in order to keep people safe. Not this.....not this c**p...

I would immediately adopt that dog, and the dog those people planned on adopting. They don't deserve to have a pet if they want to pick and choose. If I get an animal, I'm keeping it, no matter its flaws, because I signed up for that and signed up for every responsibility. If you can't handle it for whatever reason, it should be common sense to get your s**t together before getting another dog.

I would be the 1st to adopt him if I had to walk into that shelter, I have 2 belgian malinois, they are probably the busiest dogs around and need a lot of attention and activities for stimulation, when they are young and still learning you quickly start adding up what they cost you in damages, but we have learnt prevention is better than cure and we will not exchange them for anything in the world, they are extremely intelligent and can learn quickly with the right methods, those people weren't the right people to get a malinois, and I blame the people who let this dog go as a puppy, if you know what a malinois is like and appreciate them you will let them go to owners that you know c 'n handle them and be able to take care of them.

My hubby and I adopted a dog from a local shelter a couple months ago. Originally, we were told that she was a "surrender" from an animal hoarder. The shelter told us that she is 7 years old and completely house trained. We had just bought a new home a month prior. Needless to say the new home had brand new carpet and padding.... HAD. 😒 There is no way this dog is 7 years old, she demonstrates constant topical 1-2 yr old behavior including peeing & pooping everywhere. The hardest part is that other than the potty issues and her wanting to chew up any box in a mile radius she is one of the sweetest dogs we have ever had. I'm not in anyway condoning what this family did, at all. However what I Am saying is that it's possible the shelter lied to the family about the dog just to get it adopted. We refuse to give up the new addition to our family, however now we have to shampoo the carpet daily and spend even more money for training lessons! Obviously if the had said they didn't know anything about her, that would've been taken into consideration. But no. Instead they completely LIED to our faces, just to get her adopted!

The dogs don't know that they are there to adopt a dog. They just react at the attention that they are given. Humans need to just give it a rest!

"Are you prepared to make a long-term commitment? It’s important when adopting a new pet to consider not only what having a pet entails during the fun puppy or kitten stage, but also if you’re prepared to grow with your pet. Cats and some small breed dogs can live up to 20 years! It’s imperative to consider how the needs of your new pet may change over time, and what may be required in the way of health care or other needs."

"Has your family researched what vetting costs over the lifetime of a dog or cat? In addition to basics like pet food, toys, treats, and other fun accessories for your pooch or kitty, your playful pooch or kitty will need regular checkups and dental cleanings in order to look and feel his very best for a lifetime of fun. In addition to an annual exam, your furry friend will require vaccines and potentially tests and medications from time to time. Active doggies may encounter everyday injuries just like humans. Many online resources exist that estimate the cost of veterinary care over a pet’s lifetime. Some owners choose to provide pet insurance to assist when the unexpected does occur. Pet insurance provides a range of coverage and prices from emergency only to full annual exam and wellness benefits. Friends, family, and neighbors can be a great resource to find a veterinarian. If adopting from a rescue organization, ask the rescue for a list of great vets in the area!"

For Years, Vegan Blogger Sonia Sae Has Been Allegedly Raising Her Pet Fox Jumanji On A Vegan Diet Because She Thinks That All Species Are Equals

For Years, Vegan Blogger Sonia Sae Has Been Allegedly Raising Her Pet Fox Jumanji On A Vegan Diet Because She Thinks That All Species Are Equals

Sae has already admitted that Jumanji is half blind, suffers from spontaneous convulsions and a severe skin condition. However, she refuses to believe that this is because of what do foxes eat. “They use the word ‘abuse’ to describe the act of feeding [it] food that no animal had to die for. Despite the obvious oxymoron, any other non-vegan alternative DOES involve abuse by default,” she said in a Facebook post.

"Poodle or Maltipoo? Siamese or Domestic Short Hair? Deciding what breed of dog or cat may be the best fit for your family can be a fun learning experience. There is no shortage of kennel clubs or online resources regarding each breed."

"While breed is often a personal preference, it’s important to take into account the general temperament of each breed. Mixed breed dogs often inherit a combination of each breed trait and can vary in both appearance and temperament. Many rescues specialize in Purebred dogs. Similarly, purebred dogs can often be found in local shelters through no fault of their own. One of the benefits of mixed breed dogs is that because they are genetically more diverse, they are less likely to inherit genetic defects that can cause health problems."

These are just a few things to take into account before getting a pet, unfortunately many people rush into the decision and find themselves overwhelmed. For more information about responsible pet ownership as well as the possibility to adopt if you do think you are ready, check out ARPO's Facebook page here.

I saw this at a house I was working on, previous owners moved out and left their 2 cats, along with around 30 lbs of cat food. I fed and watered them every morning I worked there. Offered to take them but then new owners said they would take care of them once they moved in.

Why walk by? Why not take the dog to a shelter or just shame the owner at the tea shop and call him out?

This is the ugliest thing I have laid mine eyes upon. Poor kitty. How delusional and make-up obsessed do you have to be to think anyone would find this cute? This person needs an intervention and their make-up bag taken away.
