When you make a decision to adopt a pet whether it is a dog, cat, bird, lizard, or whatever your preference is; you become responsible for that animal.
It does not matter if you are young or older the animal is looking to you for guidance, protection, and food because you are there to keep them safe.
In addition, having a pet comes with a lot of benefits such as decreasing the feeling of loneliness, help lower stress levels, increase your social engagement, help keep your mind sharp, and more.
When you adopt a pet you create a bond with your pet, from then on the bond grows into something stronger.
On the other hand, you also have people who do not need to become pet owners because they have anger issues or they don't have enough time.
In an article from Fox 2 News called "Irate man smashes, stomps on bird after pet store won't refund his $30" by Jessica Dunpack and Fox 2 Staff the reporter went into detail about how a man wanted to return his pet bird due to a broken wing.
When the man in question first bought the bird the wing was not broken, once the owner of the pet store in Allen Park refused to provide the customer with a refund the customer stomped the bird to death.
In this article, the owner of the pet store Mr. Simms stated "The bird was in a box, he took his fist - smashed it right on top. Threw the bird off the counter with the smashed box - it probably was already dead - threw him on the ground and stomped him two times with his feet," Simms said. "That’s pure anger to stomp a little old parakeet like that."
The identity of the man has been revealed and his court date is set for Thursday.
