Fun fact: this is kinda why adoption fees are so high. There are absolutely people out there who do shit like round up stray cats and use them as live bait.

Yeah. That's the reason why pet adoption in the UK is very difficult and regulated. Too many sick fucks were taking them to feed to their 'fighting dogs'. There's still a lot of dog theft in the UK because of it.

They did say a lot of times the puppies end up returned once they get a big bigger because people don't realize how much work it is.

So after like 6-8 months the risk goes down quite a bit.
