Do you think it is important for a kid to have a pet that gets old and dies?

I don't know. I wish I could have had the chance to learn about death through a pet though. Unfortunately at 4 years old I was already dealing with human death. Maybe that's why I can't/don't fear death.

that sounds like some shady shit is going on....

....and um....i don't know if it will teach them alot about death....i had pets when i was young, but i don't remember them dying and me learning anything...

...i learned about death from my dad dying when i was 12.....

..and what did i learn??..it's a bitch

I GOT 2 VIEWS ON THIS SHIT...

1. I DONT THINK ITS A GOOD IDEA PHOR A KID TO GET A PET THAT THEY GET ATTACHED TO, PHOR IT TO JUST DIE AND THEY GET ALL SAD AN SHIT...

2. IT DO TEACH THEWM TO DEAL WITH DEATH AND ACCEPT IT AS A PART OPH LIPHE...IT GO BOTH WAYS...

thats an awesome pic, you always got the best sigs Tim, lol.

I learned more form my dad dyin to... but when i had a cat for a long time (before my dad went) i was real sad, but i did learn about what it feels like to loose someone or something you care about, and thats why i know how to find true friends. They are the ones who pull you thru life with what they got.

I don't think it's "important"

When I have kids I'm not gonna buy them a pet just so that it will die and they will learn something from it, that sounds really inhumane.

I do think that it is educational for a kid to experience the death of their pet but like I said...I wouldnt buy a pet and hope for it to die so my kids will learn something from it.
