    Since editing crashes my client after the last update:

    I know I’m giving a very serious reply to what was probably a joke comment, but I have a lot of feelings on this topic and needed an excuse to get them out lol.

      I respect that you’re very passionate about animal welfare. So this is not a critique. Surrendering an animal out of pure convenience is extremely shitty and the people that do that deserve judgement.

      That said:

      Sometimes, shit happens. An animal you’ve loved and cared for deeply is no longer going to receive the same care, or is in an unsafe environment for whatever reason. Maybe there’s an unexpected health issue. Maybe work suddenly requires a lot more travel. Maybe a newborn has come and the animal and the baby can’t coexist, either due to allergies or temperament.

      I’m not saying every surrendered animal is a legit sob story, but many of them will be.

      Unrelated to the thread, but I had the same crashing issue. I went to play store and manually updated to 1.88.2 and the crashing stopped. For some treason it had only uprated to 1.88.1.
