1. [+76] Please do not abandon your pets, they are all living beings like the rest of us

2. [+25] We need to stop the sale of animals. If you want to adopt a dog, you need to register it and you need to show up for periodical training lessons. We have to stop letting people buy animals like they're toys.

3. [+38] Raising a dog is harder than you think and requires a lot of responsibility. If you think puppies are cute, that only lasts for a few months. My dog is 16 and has dementia and costs nearly 1 million won in medication a month. I don't recommend people who live alone or couples to adopt a dog on whim. The time and financial strain are immense.

4. [+26] Pets are not things to cure your boredom but family members you must take responsibility of!!

5. [+21] He's right, they're not objects. You must adopt with the promise to keep them for life. Animal abusers need to be given harsher sentences. No more getting off with penalties, jail them instead.

6. [+11] Please adopt from a shelter, do not buy. Take responsibility. My heart breaks at all the pets being abandoned and euthanized... I have one myself ❤️

7. [+1] Please... do not think of dog adoptions as anything easy...

8. [+1] He is right 👏👏👏👏👏

9. [+1] Please don't abandon your pets... buy a doll instead

10. [+2] He's right! Anything with a life is difficult to take care of... so please think twice before adopting...
