I your pet died.....?

Would you give the money you normally spend on it to the homeless untill you get a new one?

My friend said no one would I said hundreds would.

Update:

thanks for answering everyone but I don't know weither everyone understands the question or if everyone really would give the money to stray animal rather than give it to homeless people. Is this really how crule the world is now?

    I think it's crazy that people spend money to cremate the pets, it's a friggin parrot, let it go. I'd give the recently deceased pet to the homeless guy, kill two birds with one stone, so to speak...............

    While I feel it's honorable and such, like truly I'd probably quite down about it that I wouldn't want to spend money if I were thinking of it, though I wouldn't be as I'd forget this idea due to my desire to just kind of tune out from the world and also would get another pet soon after thus plugging what money I spend right back into pets. I think people ought to consider it though....well actually I still would prefer people use it on homeless animals! I guess I'm just a lot more of a animal person than a people person.

    I have several pets, 3 cats and one dog and a rabbit, I just on Thursday adopted a cat, I had one of my pets pass away suddenly and unexpectedly in January, I had vet bills and cremation costs to pay after as well as 2 other cats and the dog and the rabbit to care for also so I didn't give to a shelter, I adopted/rescued a shelter cat when I was ready to after the loss of my long time pet. I do give to animal shelters on a regular basis monetarily. I guess you could say this was donating to the homeless pets, I donated him a forever home!

    My dog was put down a few years back because it tryed to kill another dog. A few days later we went looking for another staffy. We found one and she is the most wonderful dog you could have.(she even like cats). I wont give money to homeless pets because id spend it on getting a new dog

    Well I would get another one the very same day so no there wouldn't be. I would honor my pet by adopting a new one and loving and giving the new one a home.

    I would give the money I would have used for my pet to the SPCA or friends of strays. I would also look there when I was ready for another pet

    I wouldn't. I'd save my money, wait for my grieving period to be over, and get another pet. Sometimes getting a new fuzzy bundle of love is just the right thing to make you feel better. :-)

    Weird question, but I don't think many people would spend money that way.

    No because I'd get a new one right away. I couldn't live without a dog.

    I think that would be a wonderful thing to do! So yes I would, I believe many people would.
