For Adults & Parents: What’s Up With Minors in the Pets Section?

Question by Red: For Adults & Parents: What’s Up With Minors in the Pets Section?
I’m a CPDT (certified pet dog trainer) so I lurk in the Pets —> Dogs section. I’m starting to feel a little alarmed by all the questions I read posted by kids. I mean, I s’pose I should be happy that they’re surfing about dogs on yahoo instead of how to make pipe bombs or meth labs, right?’

I’m just concerned because it seems to me that kids might be taking on too much responsibility with their dogs, not listening to their parents, adopting/buying pets without permission, etc.

One question from a youngster was something like “my dog hasn’t been bathed in 7 years; is this ok?” Or how ’bout the question: “my mom wouldn’t let me get a dog but I did anyways; now I get to keep it but I dont have any money for its food or shots and mom wont help…”

Am I missing something?
*Erika – thank you! I didn’t know anything about the “Legit Question” thing so I would’ve been reported. I still don’t know what I’m doing, but I appreciate the advice! Good lookin’ out, Girl!

welcome to summer in the dog section.

My guess is that most of these disturbing questions are just trolls.. bored kids who are looking to get a rise from everyone.

Corgi is right.. there are some responsible teens on this section.. but I think this question was referring to those that are obviously not responsible, or not coming from responsible households.. if these are not trolls, it really just makes you wonder what kind of household these kids are being bought up in.
