    What exactly cause someone to adopt and then return? I don’t know much about pet ownership.

      According to the video, the primary driver is inflation. Pet food costs money, veterinary treatment costs more. I personally would not be able to afford my dog if my mom wasn't helping me out with vet costs.

        Damn. That sucks. i never considered the costs of taking care and loving an animal to be so hard. I would imagine people get a pet to have something to love and be loved by, it sucks it’s super expensive

          Although not universal pet care, Corbyn’s 2018 manifesto included government subsidies for pet care, along with the right to have a pet in rented accommodation. There was a bunch of animal rights stuff too.

          Thankfully he failed as Labour leader and now we have Keith der Sturmer cranking up the racism dial.
