Nikkayla Williams, needs jail time - If you have Pets take care of them - Spay and Neuter them - If you cannot afford to take care of yourself - then do not get a Pet - they take an Investment and need commitment just like a child does. You cannot leave them outdoors and you need to feed and water them - all common sense, except a lot of people do not have common sense.
