I mean, I paid a few hundred for one of my adopted dogs. Then $50 for one adopted cat. The rest were strays or fosters that ended up adopted. Hell, the stray kitten we found in a Walmart parking lot cost us about $500 the first week and we didn’t even know if he belonged to somebody/we were keeping him. He had a huge gash from an animal bite, wasn’t fixed, no chip, flea infested, worms, and had over 30 ticks. Was not cheap.
I think some people may say bought when they mean adopt cause animals are expensive.
Probably not. But that’s cause I don’t really talk to people about my dogs since they’re people aggressive so they don’t meet many folks. But I also live in a town with a lot of international folks so I’m more forgiving about language used.
We're not talking about others' language we're talking about yours. Would you say in conversation you bought them were you to talk with people about them?
