Mostly for the meme probably, but theoretically money could be a reason.

    if money is preventing you from buying simple flea medication for your cat, you absolutely should not own a cat.

    Yeah I really do not understand people that use that argument. If you cannot afford to pay to rescue your cat as if it was a child then you shouldn’t have a cat. Same for dogs. Stop getting pets like they’re just magically going to live without care.

    This isn’t how it works outside first world countries. People who can’t afford cats and dogs aren’t buying them. They’re adopting the stays, stuff like that. Things work differently than in rich countries.

    A stray voluntarily coming to you is completely different than you going to a shelter or breeder and picking an animal. You’re clearly choosing an attack that makes my argument look ridiculous, when if you look at the majority of adoptions, it’s not stray animals. Even those in other countries I’ve seen (like Peru) you’re not taking those animals in as your own. They’re still a stray. You just help them out sometimes with what you can.
