To he candid, i even sold my dog last week Wednesday to feed.

It was painful seen it in chains taken away to be slaughtered. My children, wife and I shed tires to be candid.

I asked for his forgiveness.

Man will use what he has to survive this economy.

Even the dogs and cats are feeling it. Rat is not sounding like rat, Bird is not sounding like bird.

They are all silent due to hunger.

May the people who supported this administration bear the most brunt.

Hungry people having pets. Only in Nigeria.

For a person to keep a hungry dog as a pet is dangerous..one day the dog will.just bite and tear up the owner out of hunger and anger and can even kill the owner of the dog

My brother don't blame them, as long as you understand what they mean.

That humans have lost it is shown in the use of the pronoun “him” and her to describe an animal! An animal is referred to using the pronoun “it”!

You are strong ohh, four this kind time. How about. Your family, I hope you didn't abandon them.
It's not easy at all especially when you do not keep those pets to also make money for you.
I can't abandon them, they have bn very nice a good companion to the family.

And for my family.....they are so precious to me. They receive great attention. God has always bn so faithful to us.
Having your own children and another two from external ppl you chose to help is not a joke. And as visitor can't even differentiate who are biological children and children of others because all of them MUST be treated equally. It can only be God.

This was predictable in the light of major economic reforms of huge proportions. You have to cut your coat according to your cloth. Simple!

Even right in the United States, some folks are giving up their dogs for better care due to economic reasons.
BETTER to NOT engage in showing off a dog as a social status symbol like a lot of these people do when you are hungry.
Period.

Ati sin aja oyinbo ko easy if u are not a pet lover... during the time when my Caucasian is still a puppy, I feed her two eggs and well feed than me at times.

But when family join, omoo responsibility garaa. Nle waku
That says a lot... cheesy grin

The status symbol is what really drives some people to keep these animals or pets.

Even left over food from restaurants is very expensive and that is even if you can get. I don't keep dogs for pet but security. Na to cut meal accordingly

95% of these people were buying those dogs as a flex, nothing more.

na oyibo who live solitary and isolated lives who are overly attached to pets
lifestyle creep
Not quite. When you live with an animal who is very loyal to you, you eventually bond with it to a certain level that the animal begins to feel like a family member
