Thank you
I’ll look at getting some valves!
I understand your point to some extent, but I don’t think it’s necessarily as black and white as that! Peoples circumstances can change very quickly, so someone may have been in a comfortable position and got a pet, then months or years later got made redundant or lost work or had their income reduced through no fault of their own. Yes, you could say get rid of the pet to save some money, but it’s not as simple as that. Pets are like family and I could never just get rid of my dog no matter how hard my situation was.
I agree that if you’re already struggling, getting a pet is only going to make it harder, but like I said, for some people circumstances change.
