Why do some people choose to spend money on pets under the call of "adoption rather than purchase"?

In order to reduce the number of stray cats and dogs, many homeless animal shelters and animal lovers have begun to appeal, hoping that you will not buy pets, adopt them instead of buying them, and give them a home.

Although adopting instead of buying pets is a good proposal, it is not suitable for everyone in practice. First of all, many people are worried that they are not familiar with their pets and are not close to themselves. In addition, some adoption conditions are too harsh for many people to accept. The adopter and the adoptee don't trust each other, and both worry that the other is a liar. All these factors may lead to adoption failure, which worries many people.

Adopters are worried about immaturity.

Many stray animals waiting to be adopted, some of which were abandoned by their original owners, were temporarily adopted by adoption agencies or good people after wandering for a period of time. Many adopters worry that if this animal is adopted, it will be difficult to get close to themselves in case it remembers its original owner or has been abandoned and left a shadow. Other animals have been wandering since birth. They have lived a free life since childhood. After being adopted, he was wild at heart and didn't like indoor life. He went out whenever he had the chance. This makes many shovel officials very worried. It is more worry-free to simply not adopt animals and spend money to buy one.

Adoption conditions are too harsh.

I believe that many people who want to adopt pets have seen some conditions that adopters must abide by. Some of them are reasonable, such as caring, having a stable job, sending videos and photos regularly, and not abandoning pets. However, some conditions are harsh, such as telling adopters how to feed, asking how much they must spend on their pets every month, and making regular home visits, which makes many adopters feel very troublesome, so after seeing the adoption conditions that they find unacceptable, the people who originally planned to adopt may give up the idea of adopting animals directly.

There is no trust between adopters and adoptees.

Modern society is full of all kinds of swindlers. Some netizens have reported that there are scams in adopting animals, some pretend to give people for adoption to defraud the adopters of money, and some pretend to love animals and adopt them back for abuse. Although it is only part of the phenomenon, it still hurts both adopters and adoptees. Both sides are very worried about each other, afraid that they will meet a liar. Many people who are going to adopt animals have given up the idea of adoption and simply bought one after seeing the case of being cheated on the Internet. The adopter is not sure whether the other person really loves animals, so he dare not give them away easily. As the saying goes, it is normal for people to have these concerns, so in this case, adoption instead of purchase may not be successful, and it will also cause anxiety for both parties.

Under these circumstances, many people are still willing to spend their own money to buy small animals, mainly for peace of mind. The idea of adoption rather than purchase should be guaranteed, so as to proceed more smoothly and find a suitable owner for stray animals.
