Should you give a pet as a Howliday Gift?
Considering a furry, four-legged, addition this holiday? The Wildlife Docs at Busch Gardens in Tampa offer this advice before Santa brings a cat or dog:
1). Be committed. Pet ownership should result frorn a thoughtful, conscious decision to bring a companion animal into the family, with a willingness to make a lifetime commitment.
2). Spay or neuter. It helps prevent pet overpopulation, so think carefully about it.
3). Visit a shelter. Millions of pets end up in shelters or animal control centers every year; consider adopting one of those.
