The Heartbreaking Reason Why You Should NEVER Give Animals as Gifts
Animals deserve better than to be dressed up in bows, shoved under a tree, and then tossed out with the wrapping paper.
Dear Aaaaaaa,
Holiday commercials and viral videos make it seem like it's a great idea to shove an animal wearing a big red bow under a Christmas tree while heartwarming music plays in the background. However, PETA's new video refutes this very bad idea and shows the heartbreaking reason why you should never give animals as gifts.
By the end of January, many animals who were given as gifts will have joined the more than 6 million who enter shelters in the U.S. every year. Some shelters even get in on the craze during the holidays, offering discounted or free adoptions and encouraging people to give animals as presents. Their intentions may be good, but they likely don't realize that they're exacerbating the homeless-animal crisis.
