That's the thing. Any parent who allows their kids to get a pet needs to be prepared to get involved and teach their kids a sense of responsibility. Teach them that a pet is there to be loved and cared for for the duration of its life and can't be discarded like an unwanted toy.

Unfortunately, a lot of parents are irresponsible and teach their kids that its ok to get rid of a hamster when the novelty has worn off or the hamster doesn't live up to their expectations.
