Now, I am sure you are wondering what this page is all about. Since the TNT re-opened the pound and introduced the transfer system, I have noticed more and more active Neopet accounts with neglected, sad pets, often used for trade only. (and no, I do not oppose the transfer system; just pet neglect.). Let me ask you, guest , why are you here on Neopets? Why come here,create loads of pets, then allow them to rot while you are busy chatting away? It's NeoPETS, not NeoCHAT. Here in Neopia we have the wonderful oppurtunity to have pets that will never run away, get sick, or die, meet wonderful people from around the world, and have fun in a safe and friendly environment.
The Truth? Why have a pet if you just want to starve it? This is a family site - what kind of example is that for our younger users? To see neglected, sick, and sobbing pets on entirely too many accounts? If your pet is hungry, and you just don't care to feed them, then please, put them in the neolodge, or at least feed them some omelette. Or, if all else fails, and you really don't care, then pound them, or find homes for them.
Tell me something, guest, be truthful - would you rather see this:
or this?

The Argument
Pets are Pixels! They don't matter!
Oh? You notice, the name of the website you are on, yes? NeoPETS. Not NeoCHAT, not NeoNEGLECT, not NeoTRADE. To dedicated pet owners such as myself, and my neofriends, our pets are our virtual family, and will never be neglected or traded like items. Is it so hard to put them in the neolodge, or feed an omelette or jelly?
Neopets don't have feelings!
Honestly, if you are just so indifferent to your pets, then why not just pound them? There is just no justifying all of these starving, miserable pets. There are many users who would be more than willing to give your pet a Happy Home! :-)

The Cause
So, now that you know how we at NETN feel, let me explain to you why we are here, what we are doing, etc. It is our goal to help spread the word of pet neglect throughout Neopia, and hopefully help it come to a stop. We are a friendly, dedicated, responsible group of pet owners that agree that pets should be loved, cherished, and respected, just as pets are back home. We encourage users to feed and care for their pets, set a good Neopian example for our young users, discourage the act of trading pets as though they are items, attempt to make a difference in every pets life, and be the best and most reponsible Neopians we can be.

What You Can Do
Here at NETN we encourage you to take action (in a civilized manner, please)
To make a friendly suggestion to the TNT Click Here . Maybe you think accounts that keep happy pets should be rewarded? That would certainly help encourage users to care for their pets. Or maybe you think it should be against the Neorules to leave your pets abandoned, neglected, and crying for a certain amount of time(it is after all NeoPETS, and about the Pets in the first place). What ever you choose to say remember to be kind, polite, and reasonable in your suggestions. Redirect people to this page when they begin asking 'What's the Point?'. You never know, reading this page may just change some minds.

Quotes
Pets are not rubbish, nor were intended for rubbish, and should not be treated as such ~ 1lalabears1
Pets are forever not just a 'For the time being' thing ~ ladypink00
A pet is not just for Christmas or any other time of the year... a pet is for life! ~ TNT - the Neopian Pound
A happy pet is a pet with love and a forever home! ~ peckit12
Pets aren't just too show off or leave to cry forever. They aren't just to be there for a few days. They are there for you to love everyday. They are as important as the Neopets user. ~ torchic555678
Why take advantage of a system where user treats pet well and pet makes user proud? ~ 07_hayley_07
Alot of people use virtual pets as substitutes for real pets- even if we have real pets, we should still treat Neopets the same. ~ pokemon_furuba
The whole point of Neopets is...well...the pets. It's just like any other game and should be played as such. It's kind of like playing Monopoly and not caring how much money you make... ~ anon
We really love to see people cherish their Neopets and enjoy them as if
they were real, which is why it breaks our heart to see them often
treated like pixels, but sadly we can't force people to care about
their Neopets :( ~ TNT - The Editorial
The people who sit on the pound boards all day are the selfish jerks who started NETN ~ micmajrusryn
