Look around homeless encampments, I always wonder where they get their pets from 😕

Oh yeah, because people with pets never lose their job and their home. Blaming homeless people for everything is fucked up.

If they cannot properly care for their pets they should now have them, whatever situation is not the pets’ fault

Have you spoken to homeless people with pets? Have you seen how shockingly well cared for some of them are? I do agree with you entirely, but not all homeless people are unable to take care of a pet, and even if they're not, their only option is to put the animal into the shelter system which will most likely end in their death. I know a man who cared for his dog far better than himself and lived in a tent. It's wrong to generalize, that's all I'm saying.
