More and more people on facebook posting pictures of the pet they would love to keep but can't as they are moving house, changing jobs, have a new baby etc ..."so would you buy this cherished member of our family for a lot money?"

This drives me insane. People are thoughtless. I've heard the 'new baby' thing a lot lately.

 

[Jill Hives]

I was just told I was 'too efficient' ... this means I'm going to get a lot of shit work soon.
Or I need to start dossing on the internet more.

A good friend of mine gets seriously militant about that type of thing, especially when the excuse is a new baby, or a new puppy or kitten for that matter. But, on the other hand, better to find the animal a new home than throw it out of a car on a country road, which far too many people do.

Still, I think if you loved the animal so much you would give it freely to someone you thought would love and cherish it, not try to flog it off for profit.

 

[therealjohnny]

yeah, your last sentence is the bit I get angry about

I can understand the new baby thing to an extent..if say, you have a jealous adult silverback gorilla in the house

calling ketchup 'red sauce'

 

[Squiggle]

Well... I've known cases where the family pet would have fared better if it had been given away when the baby arrived. In one case the new parents were too exhausted to take the dog for walks and the poor thing was feeling very neglected and unloved. In another, more extreme case, a really lovely, docile and friendly Lab turned on the baby (probably after having its tail pulled one time too many) with disasterous consequences for both (child still bears the scars on its' face and the dog was put down).

But yeah, in my opinion all of these things need to be considered, and the long-term responsbility weighed up, before you introduce a pet into a home, or a baby for that matter. Then again, some people don't treat their offspring any better than they treat their pets, and would probably leave them at the side of the road in the countryside if they thought they'd get away with it, or put them up for sale on Facebook!

Yes! And keeping it in the press!
It needs to be refrigerated after opening people!

yeah I was being slightly facetious...I have know people to all too quickly give up their pets as if it's the done thing, I've know others who tried but ultimately failed to keep them when a baby arrived and others for whom it was no problem at all.

My main gripe was the need to profit from it..it just pisses me off

 

[therealjohnny]

Just to labour the point, as I'm currently in the middle of an argument with my missus ( who says 'red sauce')

Wikipedia agrees with her..but they're all wrong

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketchup

Ketchup (also catsup, tomato sauce, or red sauce) is a sweet-and-tangy food sauce, typically made from tomatoes,vinegar, a sweetener, and assorted seasonings and spices.

No need to be a dick about it..my earlier complaint was perfectly valid and initiated a decent conversation..and I also began with the disclaimer 'in a lesser complaint..'

calling ketchup 'red sauce'

No way has a tomato been seen in a red sauce factory in the last 20 years.

Besides It's disgusting and should only be used to clean copper or replace blood in shitty home made Zombie epics. It smells nearly as bad as coffee, the sight of it is enough to make me wretch. Red Sauce is too wholesome a name for it, it should be called Blob Scum or Mank Plop. It shouldn't be kept in a fridge it should be consigned to history never to return.

In short Fuck Red Sauce. And Fuck all Y'all who dine upon it.
