How would you feel about a person that buys their children a puppy, then gives the puppy to a pound a week later... and does this same thing twice?

I think I summed it up in the title pretty well. What would your opinion be of someone that buys their children a puppy, then takes the puppy to the pound a week later? Then they do the exact same thing a few years later?

I’m really curious to hear your thoughts. I know that most animal lovers will find this behavior unsettling, but I’m interested to hear from people that are not necessarily crazy about animals. Perhaps just from any parent in general. What effect do you think it has on the child?

Has your child ever had to give up a pet, and how did it affect them?
