If my friend gave me a live animal on my birthday I would play a joke on my friend & invite her or him over for dinner. For example if my friend gave me a rabbit I would go out & buy rabbit chops or whatever cuts they come in & make it for dinner for them & hide the rabbit they gave me.

I'd be angry as fuck. A pet is a living being, not a gift. It costs money to sustain its lifestyle and if you're not ready for it that can be a lot of stress.

Depends on the pet and whether they're just gifting me with the animal or also with what it needs in regards to housing, food etc.

You cannot give living creatures away as a gift to anyone without their consent!! It's cruel because a owner that doesn't give a shit about their animals are not going to take good care off that animal or they might even abuse the animal

Pets are NOT surprise gifts!!! ❌❌❌

Constatine · Answer

But don't force a pet. Because with cats and dogs... the animal is choosing their new owner bring that person to a store or animal shelter.

Pets which are interested in the birthday boy / girl will come to them... and he or she can pick one out.

Great but I need to be organized before hand on what I like and want and the size of the dog I like big dogs

Meropatrick · Answer

Its bad. I have already a pet and my pet would get jealous and not accept a new pet. He is very possesive and bonded to me. It will end up either he attacks the new pet or the pet would attack him.
