Dear Mrs. NeoBox, Why do people create a pet if they're just going to throw it away? And why do they give them awful names like "Ismell". That's not very nice. The pets don't deserve to be treated like this. Most people say, "NeoPets should be treated with respect." If these NeoPets continue to be thrown into the agency, then this will eventually spell "DISASTER" in the land of Neopia. As you read this, many NeoPets are still being thrown away. You can't just throw them away like they don't exist. Concerned, TienTrainer

Dear TienTrainer, This could be an epidemic. But we can still do something about it. People have been creating pets with silly names because they think it's funny. Well, it's not. It's very sad. But it could be a mistake. Do you think that the person that created "Ismell" meant to name their pet "Ismail"? Either way, these poor pets sit in the pound and are being made fun of by other pets because of their silly names. You Neopians have to understand one thing: THE PETS NEED YOU. I wouldn't go as far to say "DISASTER" for Neopia, but I would WARN people to a bit more careful with their pets because they need you to take care of them. If you don't they will be very sad and you will feel terrible. I don't think you want that to happen. So, TienTrainer, I am very happy that you have brought up this point and that you are also concerned. All you can do is tell people that once they bring a pet into Neopia they should be responsible enough to take care of it. Like you said, "You can't just throw them away like they don't exist." It just doesn't seem right. They DO exist, even if they have silly names. It's still a sad, sad day. Especially when I go through the agency and all of their sad faces are looking up at me. Think before you throw a pet away, Mrs. NeoBox
