CMV: It SHOULD be illegal to use the term "Forever Home" when selling/adopting pets. The idea of a place being a "Forever Home" is extremely unrealistic when you look at divorce rates, moving for jobs, etc.

CMV: It SHOULD be illegal to use the term "Forever Home" when selling/adopting pets. The idea of a place being a "Forever Home" is extremely unrealistic when you look at divorce rates, moving for jobs, etc.<br><br>I've read stories of people having to get rid of pets because they are moving for a job where pets aren't allowed, or even because they moved into an area where the breed was illegal. I've heard stories of people getting a dog and then discovering allergies they didn't know they had.<br><br>If given the chance, most people will choose themselves over their pets. Most pet owners will choose their job over their pets. Divorce rates are high enough that I can't imagine many pets being kept in a home after the parents separate. I know this is the harsh reality of life.<br><br>But why do shelters tell people that the homes they are placing animals into are "Forever Homes" when they have no control over the future? When the person adopting a pet has no control over their future?<br><br>Reddit, can you change my view on this?
