    Paying for something someone wants isn’t the same as a surprise gift.

    A parent buying a pet for their kids is actually a parent buying a pet for themselves; the parents very well know the pet is ultimately their responsibility.

    I don’t think anyone is saying to not do those things. It’s the surprise of a pet that is heinous.
