Used?

As in adopt from a shelter?

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yup!

Because they won't just show up when needed...

I agree with 'adopt don't shop' because I respect the animals, and it feels pretty disrespectful to call a living creature 'used.'

I'm conflicted. On one hand, you are absolutely correct that 'used' is disrespectful.

On the other hand, I call my cats worse things all the time.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I don’t disagree with you.
