I do agree with you, but people shouldn't get pets, especially exotic ones, if they don't have the money, skills, and time to ensure the animal's physical and mental wellbeing.

Way too many people believe that you can just get a goldfish, put it in a small bowl and feed it and it'll be fine, when in reality, goldfish need a huge ass aquarium that has to be cleaned regulary and get the water changed, other fish to keep it company, something to do, hiding places etc.
