    I’m aware of the details

    Why don’t they buy hamsters and what not themselves from providers so that there aren’t emotional connections to the animals at least?

    It’s weird to ask for animals where there are inherently emotional connections

    Then the question: don’t they have the money?

      They’re making the offer available to those who want it, in other words those who don’t see a problem with it emotionally. Some of whom even benefit emotionally from it. Is it very hard to comprehend that different people have different viewpoints on things?

        Yeah but here is the thing: the entire idea of a pet is to get some emotional connection with it, making you want to care for it.

        Anyone delivering their pet for this should maybe have a psychological evaluation if you ask me

          Did you miss the part where this is IF YOU’RE PUTTING A PET TO SLEEP ANYWAY? Nobody’s asking you to give up a pet you want to keep ffs.
