Well surely the people that put the pet in the pound in the first place are more to blame? If there were no pets in there, or even no pets with petpets attached, then me and others wouldn't be looking for them?
You already said that Neopets isn't real (which i
remotely agree with you). Why are these people taking this "nonreal" game so seriously?

I'm sorry to have to break this to you, but Neopets isn't real. They're only pictures. I see what I'm doing as the same as restocking
- It's not the same as restocking: Restocking takes items gererated by a script that runs every eight minutes or so. What you are doing is exploiting innocent pets, abandoned, stealing their stuff and returning them. That can be compared to walking into a store, buying a box of cereal, ripping off a dvd from the back and returning it.
- They are not just "pictures". Neopets is based oN a foundatioon of PHP scripts and a mySQL database
and pictures.
- I don't know many people who take their time to go pound surfing, but I DO know many that go restocking. Sure, leaving the pets in the pound is unethical, but as you mentioned, it's just a game.
I don't know why there's this big discussion on the topic. Good day to you all.
