in my opinion there should be no stigma against someone who realized they're in over their heads and gives up an animal: if you recognize your inability to care for something and go through the effort to ensure it's given to someone who can own it properly, then major props! you're being a responsible owner.
it's those people who provide absolute BARE minimum care just so the animal doesn't die THAT day, those who willfully remain ignorant to an animal's needs, those who keep an animal for only selfish reasons, and those who fight through criticism that i have a problem with.
i hope this is what you meant with opening a discussion.
LOL!
