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

In order to reduce the number of stray cats and dogs, many stray animal shelters and animal lovers have begun to make appeals, hoping that you will not buy pets, adopt rather than buy pets, and give stray animals a home.

Although adopting pets instead of buying them is a good suggestion, it is not suitable for everyone in practice. First of all, many people worry that they are unfamiliar with their pets and will not be close to themselves. In addition, some adoption conditions are too strict 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 the failure of adoption, which worries many people.

Adopters are worried about their 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 the animal is adopted, it will be difficult for it to get close to itself in case it remembers its original owner or is abandoned and leaves a shadow. Other animals have been wandering since birth. They have lived a free life since childhood. After being adopted, he was wild inside and didn't like indoor life. He went out to play whenever he had the chance. This makes many shovel officers very worried, so they simply don't adopt animals, and it is more worry-free to spend money to buy one themselves.

The 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 which are reasonable, such as caring, having a stable job, sending videos and photos regularly, and not abandoning pets. However, some harsh conditions, such as telling adopters how to feed them, asking them how much they must spend on their pets every month, and making regular home visits, make many adopters feel very troublesome, so after seeing the adoption conditions that make them feel unacceptable, 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 report 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 adopters and adoptees. Both sides are worried about each other, afraid of meeting swindlers. Many people who intend to adopt animals have given up the idea of adoption and simply bought one after seeing the case of being cheated on the Internet. When adopters are not sure whether they really love animals, they dare not give them away easily. As the saying goes, it is normal for people to have these concerns, so in this case, adopting instead of buying may not succeed, and it will also cause anxiety for both sides.

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 still needs to be guaranteed to proceed more smoothly in order to find a suitable owner for stray animals.
