For the purposes of this poll, adopting includes obtaining a pet from a shelter, rescuing a stray, etc. Shopping includes buying a pet from a breeder or pet shop.

There are legitimate reasons for both, and this isn't intended to demonize one or the other; this poll is just aiming to assess which is more common here.
