An interesting story has been exposed by The Open Ticket. Apparently the vanity pet black market is booming based on the desire for (and abandonment) of companions:
"Today's owners don't think of their pets as companions, but as status symbols. Collection and display of vanity pets has become more important than living with them, and often, pets that fall out of fashion are simply discarded."
My, oh my. I had no idea how bad it's gotten for our little friends. I know that none of you loyal WarcraftPets readers use your pets as status symbols. Right? Right? Good.
