Should new pet owners be required to pass a suitability test or background check

Posted 2014-10-23 by Mariafollow
More and more animal cruelty and welfare cases are brought to our attention everyday on TV. When we hear of this horrible cruelty we often question how that person was allowed care of an animal in the first place.

There has been talks of some countries asking prospective owners to take an exam before they can adopt or purchase an animal.

Do you think that this exam would be a good idea?
Do you think a thorough background check should be carried out to see if they are suitable?
Or should there be no restrictions on anyone who wants to adopt or purchase an animal?
