12. It is ridiculous that plants that are dangerous to pets don't have a warning on them.

Food too. A lot of people share food whether it is right or wrong they do it, some human food is toxic to deadly for pets.

You would think flower shop owners would just do this voluntarily. I mean FFS if I bought a plant that killed one of my precious furballs you can bet everyone I know would know that I wasn't warned about that.
