1. [+483, -12] What, a dog is a rental car now? If you plan on raising a pet, you better do so with the intention of keeping it for its entire life or don't even get one at all. Especially not if you're not going to take it to the hospital when it's sick.

2. [+401, -10] I'm not a dog owner myself and don't even like them but this is so hard to understand. Letting someone borrow a life? All animals are a being, imagine the stress they'll be under being moved from house to house. Ridiculous...

3. [+386, -7] The thought of this is so scary. How could anyone even come up with this? So irresponsible... It's basically the same thing as let me play with it and throw it away when I get bored. I hope everyone who voted that they agree won't ever own a pet.. such irresponsible people.

4. [+21, -0] Have they thought of the stress the pets will be under? They only care about their owners... they'll be moved just as they're about to adjust without ever getting to understand why. You should never 'rent out' any life. Korea's general view of pets is so low, what in the world are we doing to these animals just because they can't speak? If anything, people should be fostering abandoned animals. The fact that this poll even exists is so embarrassing.

5. [+19, -0] Is this poll for real? Then why not rent out children to newlyweds who are looking to get experience before they have their own kids?

6. [+19, -0] How could you 'borrow a life'? Who's going to be responsible for the stress these animals will be under?

7. [+18, -2] It's basically like renting out kids from orphanages

8. [+17, -0] People are so greedy. Dogs are a life and have emotions. Just because they can't speak doesn't mean they can be treated however you want. They have such strong territorial instincts too, this is just a horrible idea overall.

9. [+17, -0] Everyone's crazy... at this rate, we'll be renting out children too.

10. [+16, -0] Dogs are not toys but a life! Do humans not have any sense of crime anymore? This is so selfish!
