What is one cause of animal suffering? What is one mistreatment of dogs?

People get a pet without reading enough beforehand to ensure they can properly care for a pet. That results in them failing to provide everything their pet needs. For instance, buying a tortoise and failing to provide UVB light leading to the tortoises failure to use calcium and development of metabolic bone disease. Buying a dog and not providing socialization and keeping it on a chain in the backyard without providing for its need to be part of a pack. Failure to provide heartworm prevention in the southern states. Getting a cat and just feeding it the cheapest cat food you can find and then having it euthanized when it ends up with urinary tract blockages or kidney disease from the poor food you fed it..


The list could go on and on for stupid things people do because they couldn't take the time to type something into Google search or read a book beforehand.
